“Handicaps were Doom and Gloom, Badd Press and Drugs, ironicly.

I took the +Ag for Gerald as an anti wiz measure and the lack of rerolls first half did prove very costly for the Orcs.

First half was looking bleak, the rain didnt bring confidence for Dorfs and the fouls came raining in. Luckily the cas didn't come, for either side, and solid central defense combined with a bit of 'being hit and staying there' from some of my SF guys squeezed the Orcs down the side, with Morg leading the charge and the AG4 orc in possesion. Ultimately the time got tight and the Marca side-sneak led to a cage that a failed dodge failed to close out and gerald was able to get a 2GFI hit on the ball from the open corner, a reroll brought the Orc blitzer down and joyfulyy the ball got slippy in the rain.

Here Nuffle smiled on the Dorfs and the orcs, sloughing rerolls like fat people sweating as they climb stairs, couldnt secure the ball, My SF guys again proved annoying and i got a few good hits in and a few good tz's on the downed ball, but Morg was always there and i had nothing that could face him anywhere near to being in position. The only real plan was to ignore Morg, and here the +AG on gerald proved priceless securing the ball and making dusko work hard for any td opportunity. In the end he worked the Morg blitz well onto the ball and a lucky bounce even put it on the tz line without any need for gfi's. But Nuffle smiled again and the rain meant a 4+ went begging and we went in for oranges evens at 0-0.

Second half and my LOS guys did the work with some minor orcs and one MB BOB leaving for the KO box, for the loss only of my str4 DP. this numbers advantage stayed and proved key in outmanouverring the orcs and secureing the ball behind a reversed field after a typical grind through the middle. Mostly quite bland bar a minor apoth gamble by me using it on a missing.

It always seemed likely the game would hinge at this point on the Wiz, and its impact. dusko had avoided several opportunities i had offered and hit my first tight cage. Gerald went down with the ball, and 2 others did too, but no one went off field and luckily the ball bounced into the willing hands of the only Dorf to avoid the blast, my ag4 runner Jimmy. A horrendously unlucky set of 4 die for morg on grim left dusko still the wrong side of my team, away from the ball, and the best he could manage was a single tz on the blodger ag4. Jimmy went south, the rest of my team closed the doors and a desperate morg blitz failed giving me the 1-0.

Foolishly i used my anti chainpush defense and exposed some decent dorfs to risk, for reasons known only to my dealer, but all ended well and my Dorfs stumble on to face the essence of distilled evil that is Danish Terror.

May Nuffle continue to favour us.
thansk for the great game dusko, better rolls next time dude.”
