“Managed win despite opponent's hugely fortunate dice. Although no less than seven of our players have Dodge, a team with zero tackle inflicted a heavy toll of KOs and casualties from the start. Two of our players removed in T1 of the first half, and it only got worse than there. Managed to defend successfully despite low numnbers, and got to halftime 0 - 0.

Outnumberd in second half, with 8 players removed, was forced to score by turn five and defend for rest of the game. This was tricky, but opponent weakend his position by squandering rerolls on unnecessary rushes and block rerolls.

The craziest decision was a 1d block with goblin again linement peripheral to the action. When this went wrong, opponent threw away his last reroll on a pointless block which was at end of turn anyway, so no turnover risk.

Squandering the rerolls caught up with opponent at the end when ball carrier fell over on unnecessary rush.

Happy with this win. The dice were definitely on opponent's side, but we stuck to good Blood Bowl, avoided too many mistakes, exploited opponent's mistakes.

Not many elves walked off the pitch, but we walked off with a win.

Opponent suffered turnover from off ball minotaur blitz. However this was at end of turn when had already manoeuvred into weak position boxed in at sideline with ball exposed to 2d blitz. The knocked over minotaur surf was a bonus, but made no difference whatsoever to game as wasn't involved in action on the ball an returned for second half.”
