“Tough match vs two dwarf teams.

1st half was helped greatly by many Skulls being rolled by the opposing dwarf team--even though one of my slayers got hurt early and I was down players most of the half. For the 1st 4 turns, I couldn't get more than pushes on most of my blocks, but about turn 4 or 5, I had a great turn where I not only knocked everyone down, but stunned 3 of them. The next turn, I got to the BC and knocked the ball out, which pretty much ended their chance at a TD in the 1st half.

2nd half I got one of their guys early and was up men most of the drive. I was able to push through for a TD on turn 4, thinking that maybe I would have a chance at stopping them as they moved slowly the 1st half. However, turn 4, 5 and 6 saw one of my dwarves leave the pitch (2 bh and a KO), and I couldn't stop them from scoring on turn 8.

--something I still don't understand was his turn 8. With the runner with the ball 1 square from the EZ and not in any TZ's, he proceeded to throw as many blocks as he could before finally scoring. With how the game was going (lots of skulls), I was (and am) amazed that someone would not just score and tie up the game. 3SPP > 0 + Casualty SPP. Particularly when the runner with the ball was at 4 SPP and guaranteed a skill when he scores. I asked about it, and my opponent responded that he was 'here to F*#^ claw members, not friend making" making...which still makes no sense in that I don't have claw and dwarves (and asking about not scoring wasn't about friendly play, but competitive play--a T > L in my book and I"ve seen many things go wrong when people, including me, do unneeded things on turn 8--even with a RR)

anyway, no one permanently hurt, and a T is better than a L...so all is well. No new players.
