“A match in the rain where really the orcs should have been able to draw - badly hurting the troll twice in two drives (the second time without regeneration) should have been enough to break through, but with no Guard, The Revenue Protection Officer was just a little too vulnerable, and once the ball was dropped, there was little chance in the rain of anyone picking it up.

I played over cautiously here (only used 1 reroll in the first half, which is a sign I could have been risking more, I think) but I'm trying to be careful and not give up points too easily in the game. It leads to a more boring mode of play - the orcs cage up, and slog up the field, and then grind to a halt because they couldn't take enough of the opposition out - but perhaps what's a bit dull is also a bit more solid.

No injuries to the team. We did three fouls - to try to remove the Mighty Blow threat in the first half (successful) and a spitefoul in turn 16 that took another goblin out, and one other that I don't remember. So nothing too egregious there.

Thanks for the match - fun opponent. All those Largo-named creatures were hard to pin down...”
