“The fans were cheering on the OWA as we came on to the field to face the Chaos, who have a Mino in their number. Our Slayer was getting bashed when we left him isolated, but our Blitzer Gotrek took down the Mino (triple skull blitz!). We didn't waste too much time, with our Sergeant blitzing a Beastman out of the way so Jones could run in the score.
They came back at us and Victoria managed to KO a Beastman. They missed that after a couple of blocks Lucan could rush through and blitz down their carrier. He promptly did, with a both down result which KO'd their carrier. They regained the ball but our Thrower was able to get in a wrestling match to get the ball down again. The half ends 1-0 when they can't quite dodge their way to equalise.
The second half didn't go so well. They were moving around and Ivan bodged up a block. That left us with guys getting hit, and indeed the Sergeant was badly hurt by the Mino. A lino was also hurt. We were a mess by then. When the carrier then held back, followed by Ogre Ivan screwing up again, the draw was assured.
We did try to look at a OTTD, but with players just off behind their LOS there didn't seem to be a way to do it for my simple mind.
Disappointing not to pressure their 2nd half drive more after a strong first half, but we did get away with doing several equal strength blocks today and we leave without any long term damage or Chaos warping.”
