Game started good for my opponent. Handicap was Greatest, but he could field both the multi-niggled stars (the 173spps RSC-MB-Tackle beastman too) and things looked grim for me when he rolled perfect defence.
But the lucky dice stopped there. I could (somehow) pass through his lines and thanks to my guards I could reach the endzone and stall from turn 4 to turn 8. I even managed to KO the ST6 mino and the RSC beast (on a well deserved foul), so I tried to press my luck in order to leave only one chance of recovering the KOs to my opponent. And I lost the ball in turn 8 ^__^
Shit happens.
Both the mino and the killer failed their KO roll, so I cheered up when my opponent started second half... maybe I could survive this match! And then... w00t? I roll Pitch Invasion at kickoff and his AG5 Chaos Warrior fails the pick up all alone in his backfield!!! Time to run with both catchers, steal the ball and swarm with my team towards the opponent AND the ball.
After that, I had the game in my hands, and this time I didn't mess things up. I stalled all way long to turn 8, leaving his killer players off the pitch and managing to injure another one with my Ogre, while my opponent rolled snake eyes after snake eyes until he reached 0 rerolls and was fried.
Nice win for the Hellfish, and FF is up again to 18!
I must say I got lucky this time, and my opponent was a real good sport, not whining about the stalling AND the incredible amount of ones rolled in the second half.
