“The norse came out of the gates lightning fast, scoring in two turns before the orcs even realized a game was going on! And that against a perfect defense, too! Of course, the dream was not to last, as the orcs suddenly figured out there was a game going on and started pounding away to no end. Granted, the vast majority of the hits were ko's and not cas, and the cas were all bh, but when 3/4 of your team has been removed off pitch and there's still 11 orcs including BOB and block/pro troll, there's just not much you can do to stop them. Nuffle must've been amused at our feeble attempts, however, as he caused bad ball control dice on the orcs, keeping them from scoring first half.

Second half we get enough ko's to wake up to combine with reserves for 11 on pitch, but this number steadily reduced very rapidly during the rest of the half. Twice we had a chance to get at the ball carrier; the mino rolled only pushes, and the agi 4 lino failed a 2+ dodge, while his non-tackle guys were rolling POWs on my blodgers and removing them from the pitch... In the end, there just was no stopping him from scoring as his time expired, time for only a desperation chainpush for a score. Only 8 norse were standing to do it, but even so clever frenzy-pushing got a guy to only one square away; if I had a full squad standing, I think I actually just might have made it! Will have to work on that in stand-alone practice...”
