“Very enjoyable game this one, nice and close for the most part and no permanent injuries is always a bonus in the tour.

As ultwe says, facing off against orcs with no tacklers I was feeling reasonably confident. Winning the toss, it was a reasonably straight forward 8 turn drive, with my dp managing to remove a block black orc for a bh.

The gobbo one turner is on, until my kick sails one square short of his endzone...

Second half, dice evened out a little more, with the orcs racking up several KOs. I am down to just 6 players at one stage, but it's not all one way traffic though as I surf a blitzer for a MNG and get lucky by removing another BH with a block. I force ultwe to roll dice for a handoff, but he makes it comfortably and it's 1-1. In the last turn of normal time, I gang foul a ST5 Black Orc into the BH bin.

By this stage, we have both used our apothecaries I believe, successfully too.

I get 2 of 5 KOs back in turn 16, and all three remaining for OT. Ultwe wins the toss though.

Fortunately for me I am able to surround the now numbers down orcs, and when I get another casualty the bh bin is full and the chance is up for the orcs.

I free the ball, swipe it with a blitzer and block off all routes. In the end, ultwe just ran out of dice and bodies.

Very enjoyable game, and I had my fair share of the dice in this one. Thanks for the match ultwe!

On to round 2!”
