“This game swung either way, and truly was a very entertaining match. He scores first, using a quicksnap to promote his gutter to a OTS. A double-1 failed dodge on my part extended his lead to 2-0 after only two turns. Somethings gotta give...and what gave was his team's armor. Not much in terms of cas, but when I ko'd a rat he STAYED ko for the duration of the match. This systematic reduction of his numbers allowed me to have my way for much of the match, although there just was no proper defense against his gutters scoring after each of my scores. He scored his third when he sidestepped away from my blitz into the endzone; his fourth came when I conceded the score in favor of bashing some more rats.

It all came down to the final turn; my agi 5 lineman had the ball deep in my territory, gets surrounded by three gutters. The rest of my team is downfield, setting up blocks to get my blitzer the ball so he can score to make it 6-4 with only one skaven turn remaining. Only have one blitzer back, ready to receive the throw from my agi 5, so he can advance and handoff. Just requires me to make a couple 2+ and 1+ dodge (no sweat) and a 1+ throw (no sweat) and a 2+ catch...

...oops...

Ball lands at my feet, in range of his agi 5 gutter to grab and throw ahead to his teammate, who scored the 5-5 equalizer as time expired. Double-1 (from rr) cost me the game, but you know what? I'm not really all that irked about it, it was that enjoyable a game! Besides, I got two new skills and the cash for my fourth blitzer, bringing the team back to 11 players for the first time in half a dozen games.

Great match, and look forward to the rematch!”
