“Really tough match. I'm pretty certain I had the worse luck here -- how often do Orcs get their arses kicked by Necros? -- but managed to still luck out enough to prevent him from scoring in the first half by blocking his ball carrier twice with my Str 4 blitzer and then eventually managing to throw the ball back deep into his half. With no rerolls, he needed a longbomb to get it back to his werewolf on the last turn of the half -- and he didn't get it.

The next half, I was playing undermanned by one Orc and felt in trouble. That's where Goblinen gave me a break and didn't field all his ghouls nor his werewolf (the other one was KO). Seeing this, I immediately decided I had to stall to win. It mostly went to plan. The ball was knocked loose a couple of times but the Orcs prevailed in the end and scored the decisive TD on their last turn.

Mental note: get better at fouling Werewolves.”
