“you'd think a game with these two teams would have more than one casualty... i guess everyone has off days when it comes to bashing. only casualty was the death of one of my ogres on the first turn. apothe'd of course.
The game was close as hell and just as fun. first half the orcs are comin downfield with the ball, i get a few lucky hits on the ballcarrier with the gobbos, manage to rip the ball free once or twice only to have it ripped right back... which s fine. it's still pressure on the ball. he waltzes in for a 8th turn td, giving me one turn before the half ends to throw a gobbo... the kick was deep and wide. I had no reroll and had to pick up the ball, gfi twice, hand off, toss downfield (ogre ag3), land, dodge dodge dodge gfi... did i mention no reroll? went for it anyways, and it worked.. crazy hero play.
second half, i cage it up, start my walk downfield. 4 turns in i'm a few squares past the line, i see an opening so i run the front cage ogre downfield, toss the gobbo inside the cage to just behind where he's standing in case the gobbo dies or something. gobbo lands and runs it in.
we set up again, he scores with relative ease. we set up again, 2 or three turns left cant remember, perfect D, realizing i wont score without risking him scoring if i screw up, i do something different. he rushes most of his guys forward, i tag the ones in the backfield, leave one ogre deep (turn 8 at this point, i cant score), rush the ballcarrier gobbo forward and feebily try to chuck the ball past where he can move to, behind the ogre... used the reroll earlier in the turn, so go figure, i fumbled. he made a few key hits to get the ball, turfed it downfield and ran it in.
what a wicked game. play ye again anytime.”
