“Pro Smack Final game, and what a game it was. Pity that the game broke, it means the first half replay is basically gone, but you can see my desperate defence and miracle 2 - 0 TD anyway.

First half is high on the cas, KOs and send-offs. We're down to 8 vs 8 and eventually 7 vs 8. Lucky break frmo me means my ST 4 Blitzer can stall for a turn with the ball deep, and I go into the second half 1 - 0 up.

By this time I have two dead players (Block Catcher - apo failed - and Guard lino) and my Ogre is BH. Dumb Ogre... Gets hurt just about every game.

The half starts with a Blitz! My Blitzers tear into moxjet's half (except for the ST 4 who stays back on sweeper duty). I'm in a good position. I might steal this TD Then disaster strikes - my +AG Tackle Blitzer gets killed (cas not registered by the report due to reload, but I retired him - Hammer Gerolf) and on my next turn, I discharge my wizard into a Troll Slayer, a Longbeard and the Runner with the ball - none go down. I manage to Blitz the Runner, but he stays up.

After that, all my turns are kinky dodgeriffic turns. I get his Runner down and manage to throw the ball into his half again, over intercepters, unfortunately miss-throwing or I could have scored right there. Next turn, he picks it up again but has to retreat in force to take care of my two rogue Blitzers who, on their own, keep dodging around 4 dwarfs to try and take down the Runner - eventually succeeding and even dodging away again to pick up the ball. Amazing stuff, amazing luck.

My opponent then double skulls on his attempt to crowd-push the Blitzer with the ball. Awesome. I manage to dodge out and score: 2 - 0 to me. Touch-Down and hard-fought victory!

I was expecting to lose in over-time after the two cas in the second half, but perseverance and some lucky breaks decided otherwise. A bit like my Veteran Smack Final with my Dark Elves, except this time I didn't return the cas as good as I got them... Pity. :)

Well-played by my opponent - only questionable decision I saw him make was not going for the two-turn TD in the first half.”
