“This game didn't start with the traditional failed dodge and apo use but my only niggler failed his first niggle roll - not a big suprise. We did fail some other rolls tho. I won the toss and elected to (not suprisingly) to receive. All went well untill 2nd turn when my players started failing rolls and the orc blitzer managed to dodge, 1d a player down that was near the ball (failed 2d block last turn when holding ball). I would have got 2d against him but first dodge of my guard player next turn failed - well I was down 0-1. 6 turns played from both. 2 turns left I tried to score but wasn't even close. Lost a player to BH from 1d block - I was sad.

2nd half started really well for me. I got blitz for and managed to score even without using my only reroll. It was the happiest time of the match even if I lost another player to 1d block and got my blitzer (what's the matter with these guys?) RIP'ed (apo to the rescue once again). So the score was 1-1 but orcs had 6 turns left.

Things looked good when thrower failed to pick up the ball. But my next turn I failed my 2nd gfi to try and pick the ball and decided not to use my only rr. In hindsight maybe not so good choice. Well the orcs got the ball caged and moved steadily downfield. I got one chance for 1d blitz with my blitzer against the thrower carrying the ball , but I was in too much of a hurry and did stupid gfi too much. Having just used my rr last turn on something I lost my opportunity. As I lost one more player to KO I had only 7 players left in the field, orcs had a safe cage near my TD zone and only 2 turns left I tried to make my opponent foul me and fail his scoring by fouling his black orc. But it was to no avail. My opponent played it smart and only scored on his last turn. With 7 players, no quick snap and only mv 7 player the last turn for me was nothing but few blocks and a completed pass for my newbie blitzer. The very last block of the game did MNG a black orc and I was a bit more happy.

Conclusion: Nice game with game open until round 5 of 2nd half. Luck was not with me today and my opponent did few quite unorky tricks while I had many turnovers from first 2+ action. But not a dice raping session totally since I had my few moments. And I still only have 1 RR. Next game I will have 11 players first time since my 1st game :).”
