“Another preperation game for the mini-leagues. In this nice but rather passive game, I got to learn some stalling skills.
So by turn 3, my opponent was already deep in my zone and overwhelming me. He had a TD pretty much secured, But showed some neat stalling skills for a turn or 2. After his TD, he got Blitz and I fumbled my first pass, ruining my plan. I sent a skink to wait in his zone, but we failed all our attempts at picking up the ball until the end of the half.
Luckily, I had KO a black orc and he didn't show up at half-time. I safely kept my ball carrier in my zone and then on his flank, with a lot of protection. Quickly I was able to reach safety n the back of his zone. I could have scored in my 4th turn, but I wasnt really feeling up to the task of stopping his 5-turn attempt at scoring. Not without sending some players out first anyway. So for many turns I kept the orcs in check, making sure getting to my skink would need a miracle. This was getting easier by the time I KOed his thrower as well, so I was playing 7vs5 with most of his players down every turn. Add to that his sudden bad luck on 1Ds (I think he had 3 skulls in just a few turns) and I scored at the beginning of turn 8, making sure to tie this 1-1. ”
