“Opening game of RRR CV.

We get a touchback and one of the new mummies demands the ball.. this could be slow! The elves start well, dodging away from the mummies and putting the hurt on the fragile skeletons - and it works: two skeletons in the cas box on their first turn. This could get ugly with us already so outnumbered! But then one of our skeletons (Bone Boots) exacts revenge KILLING one of the enemy blitzers!! And Ahhotep shambles towards the endzone with the ball ever so slooowly.

A wily elf crowdpush leaves our thro-ra badly hurt! There goes our (slight) hopes of handling the ball this game!

It's turn 6 now and the mummy continues his run towards the end zone. There's now 3 KO elves, a dead blitzer and 2 BH elf linemen vs 3 skeleton cas and it's a pretty foregone conclusion they won't be able to take him down. He stalls for a turn to stop a counter-score then strolls in on turn 8.

1-0 and the match is 8v7 for the second half. Their elves are far better than my skeletons though ..

Our first regeneration! A BH skeleton shrugs it off and sits down in the reserves box- that's how it's done! The elves are dodging all around trying to avoid the mummies and doing quite well with a lot of GFI and RRs used to have the mummies catch up. Eventually after much zigzagging the elves score on a simple dodge without rerolls left to equalise the game. 7v7 for the setup and 3 turns to go. Tense... but we can't pick up the ball and the elves can't get in at it so it's going to go to
*** OVERTIME ***
8 skellies vs 5 elves but the elves will have the ball and a RR from cheering fans. Unfortunately they just can't break through as I have the numbers and eventually mummy power starts to clear the pitch. We are however having some trouble picking up the ball!! come on you stupid skeletons!!

Eventually when only a single elf opponent remains on the pitch plucky Knuckles works out how to pick up the football and we run in the winning touchdown!

Thanks for the game McMagnus, i've rarely seen one so bloody!”
