“Playing against goblin teams is always fun - there's so much going on - and usually so much going wrong as well - that there's plenty to laugh about. And if you happen to pick up a few injuries along the way, well, that's only fair, seeing as how the goblins are almost certainly picking up more.

Her there wasn't a huge amount going on, as PicklErik were lacking a bombardier and a chainsaw, but their Fanatic, Rambo, was joined by Fungus the Loon, and together they proved to be a complete nightmare for my very understrength orcs - especially as the two bribes and Erikcartman91's arguing the call meant I was facing at least one of them for the entire match.

Bonzo are an attempt to create an orc passing game. So there's none of that caging the ball-carrier with ST4 guard black orcs and moving upfield four yards at a time. No, it's all about the open field, downfield receivers and - if not long bombs, then at least long passes - as often as possible. Today could have been better. I dropped a catch early on, and then fumbled a pass towards the end, but still managed to come away with 2 for 16, which I suppose is okay for orcs I haven't played with in months.

Erikcartman91 played a tough game - not just with the big bashers, but also the goblins. He wasn't afraid to make his dodges and blocks, and as I wasn't really able to do much damage to the squad, he had plenty of them on the field go get in my way, especially on the final couple of turns, where it a close call as to whether the final score would end up at 3-1 or 2-2. But luck was with me, and I managed to block just when I needed to in order to stop the goblins stealing their late score.

A fun game - and the first time I've played with anything except wood elves for longer than I can remember. The team is a bit odd, and I need to make some adjustments, but for now I've stuck with just binning a couple of rerolls and seeing what difference that makes. I might retire the troll at some point, but I'll at least wait and see what his second skill is before deciding. And I might lose another reroll as well if I think I need to get the rating a bit lower.

But for now I'm happy enough.”
