“Tight, exciting, and tense match in round 3 of the inaugural Painasonic League.

The Westies received the first kickoff, and manuevered downfield, avoiding mummies whenever possible. Some great dodging kept them out of harm's reach for the first few turns, and they promptly scored in turn 4, leaving the undead 5 turns to march downfield.... not clever tactics, but the wights did a good job of preventing the Westies from stalling. 1-0 Westies.

The ball is kicked, and the Undead push downfield. The mummies are battering all that foolishly stand in their way, but are not injuring anyone (yet). One zombie gets stranded on the left touchline, and the Westies, seeing this as far too tempting (being the bloodthirsty scum that they are), attempt to crowd surf it. Block, both down times 2, no RR. Turn over. Bugger. The undead blitz a hole through the feeble remaining defense and score to make it 1-1 at the half.

Turn two starts with the undead again receiving, and the dark elves, now down to 10 (BH plus KO) are up against it.

The undead push down their left, and secure the ball centrefield. But wait, what's this? A mummy only 2 spaces from the sideline surrounded by elves? Oh my..... A one dice push blck clears the supporting zombie away, the assists move into position, and She (WWOBG) the witchelf, prepares to blitz the mummy off the field. Dodge.....1........1.......f * * k.

Oh well, it was a good plan.

Rather buggered by this, the DEs watch as the undead tear down their right, setting up a ghoul in scoring distance.

The witch elf, scarlet with shame, jumps up, dodges, dodges again, and 1-die blitzes the ghoul - BAM! Other elves dodge and scamper to try and help...... and Illan, boxed in by mummy and 2 zombies, dodges ........... 1 .......... injury ..... death. F * *k! Apoc...thank the dark gods it worked. Turn over.

The numbers advantage of the undead continues to increase, 2 more KOs and a SI leaving only 7 elves on the field. Confident in their 11 v 7 advantage, the undead wight Ethan picks up the ball and scores.

2-1 to the undead. 4 turns to go.

All 3 elves recover from KO (yay!), and its 10 v 11. No RRs...... vs 4.

Now the 4AG boys earn their corn, dodging, 1-die blocking and getting a bit of luck running thier way... She (WWOBG) scores in turn 15, leaving the undead 1 turn.

2-2, clock ticking down.....

Both teams set up offensively, PDeath(y) looking for extra time and the Westies hoping for a blitz. Kick...... perfect defense. The westies run, leaving the 3 saps on the line to take a beating in the final turn.

Great game Goblinen, and thanks for not just stalling for the entire second half and securing the win. Shows good sportsmanship to go for the 3-1 win (albeit vs 7 elves) rather than just stalling and trying to kill us all.
