Extreme Predjudice's offence misfired again; what looked like a straightforward Short Pass was intercepted by a Catcher I will swear on my deathbed wasn't in position to intercept. The mistake was costly, as several Dark Elves got hurt or crowd-pushed trying to scramble back to prevent the stall. Sportingly, JanMattys gave me two turns to equalise, but the offense again proved to be this Dark Elf team's Achilles' heel.
The second half was a mirror image of the first - the Humans tried to switch the play and a failed GFI exposed the ball. With some work to do, the Dark Elves managed to pry it away and marched almost unapposed to the endzone. Unlike JanMattys, I elected not to offer up a scoring opportunity, and stalled out a turn.
Extreme Prejudice suffered a death and a forced retirement, but I felt the squad needed some thinning anyway to drop the TR a bit - these boys were punching above their weight at TR199, they need more time in the mid-levels to gain experience.
An enjoyable game (well, ok, the 2nd half was enjoyable - I was ready for an embolism in the 1st) with a sporting opponent.”
