“The Dim Sim Club were in trouble as soon as the match started when their newly recruited Treeman, Chopsticks had taken root somewhere and failed to turn up for the first period.

With a couple of other players suffering from niggling injuries, the Dim Sim Club soon found themselves out numbered, and out of luck as one player injured himself trying to go for it, and another on a failed dodge.

The Dumbass Doom Divers just played the numbers game and scored twice in the first period with relative ease, not even bothering to foul the badly outnumbered Dim Sim Club even though their fans had killed the ref early in the period.

In the second period, a backfield error by the Divers (failing to pick up the ball on a 2+ with a reroll) allowed the Dim Sim Club to pick up the ball and carry it into the end zone for their first score.

The Divers answered easily with their third TD and almost scored a 4th when a Dim Sim Club player with Hail Mary Pass forgot the player next to him had Diving Tackle and tried unsuccessfully to dodge, ending up in the KO box. The Divers failed to pick up the ball (even with reroll!) and the struggle for the ball continued.

The Divers had one last suicidal chance to score (Gobbo already moved, no Apothecary left, Ogre to throw him at Long Bomb range in the sun and hope he scattered into the end zone and not the crowd) and they went for it!

The Gobbo sailed through the air and landed just one square short of the End Zone but didn't land on his feet. Almost!
-------------
Quite a fun game against an unlucky opponent who had some bad rolls in the first half. My rolls in the second half were really crap. 1 Casualty for the game despite outnumbering him says something, but superior numbers meant I was not in any threat of losing the game.

Funny thing for me is that my Niggled 2 SPP guy who I fielded every drive as Line of Scrimmage fodder ended up scoring 2 TDs cos he happened to be at the right place at the right time!”
