“Pretty even game and well played until the last.

1st half I scored on turn 7, giving them 2 turns to score back, but I was able to KO and get players off the pitch, so the 2nd half started with more of my orcs on the pitch than his orcs.

2nd half however, went the other way, and they were able to score quickly (well, 4 turns) while bashing my team in...The troll and shorty out at the least. Still, we started our last drive at 9 on 9. As I made it up the field, things started to go very badly for me--but almost equally badly for him. Starts when my Ball carrier makes the wrong blitz...should have hit 1) from the other side or 2) the other guy..as it was, I did a 1db with no RR's and got a skull. Then my turn 6, after he had BH one of my Black Orcs, I double skull the 1st block. His turn 7 he fails to pass the ball. My turn 7 I do manage to push a player, but the ball bounces next to his thrower...Then his turn 8, he starts out with a double skull. So, my turn 8, I one up him with a double skull of my own, which also Smashes barney's Ankle (-ma)...arrrgh!

Both throwers skill up. Dan gets Fend, while Chucker gets +1 Str (both throwers now have block and +1str not bad, really.

I don't know if I'm going to keep Barney or not..he has some good skills..but MA 3 and AV 8...hmmm...decided to retire him..ma3 and av 8 even with block/mightyblow/guard/jumpup just wasn't worth keeping.

Oh, and I should make a note, that this was the last of a 10 game set (where I play each of my Black box teams once) where I went 6/3/1...1st time since I started this (this is the 13th time I've completed a 'set of 10) that I've ended above 50%--and I've only reached 50% once..the 11 other 'sets' are 40% or less.
