“What a weird match. Caught some elves when they had some injuries so no wardancers. But im still dealing with elves versus unskilled renegades. I elected to receive because I kind of tossed the game into a draw at best from the beginning.

First half, I moved the ball well. It was very secure. When the elves tagged the cage, I thought I could get some decent punches. Then 2 fails in a row on a mino blitz and a dub skull later, I elected to score on T6. Kick off table pitch invasion took out 3 of my players, and the elves easily overwhelmed. I made it tough and looked like we might save the score when the mino blotzed the BC out of the sideline, but the crowd tossed ot directly to an elf to score. Talk about bad throw ins.

I dealt with the dakka offense as best I could and nearly had it a draw. But the mini dub both downed on the last turn to seal an elf score. I attempted a TTM which went directly to the goblin - throw was good, and very last dodge was a failure.

Takeaways:

I think some games you need to just plan a draw. Like this team is not equipped to deal with a complete 2 plus dodge team. I tried some fluky things that worked like the 1 die blitz from my only elf. But it's just not enough.

The decision to receive I think is still good here. If I dont roll like a scrub on T6, then im fairly comfortable stalling.

Kick off results can flat alter the game. I am not a fan of pitch invasion or blitz - the competitive side of me wants to remove them BUT the fun coach side of me says this is an unfair game and wacky stuff is supposed to happen. I'll let you know who wins that fight later.

I really like the mino on this team. If he goes ragey then he doesnt lost TZs and he doesnt eat the team. I know you can pair the ork with the rogre for snacks but the 3 die blitz saved him form potential dub skulls twice. ”
