“With an utterly useless mino first half (he failed every single 4+ wild animal roll heh) and an ability to break armour but only cause KO's all match until the final turn... i was unable to wear down the elves.

Because of this their superior skills kept me under constant pressure when i had the ball and it was a fight to even get the draw.

First half the elves received and scored easily in turn 3.
My Norse were simply unable to make any ground and the half ended 1-0.

2nd half after an early cage got in serious trouble when i failed a pass for a skillup then had an elf leap into 3 tackle zones, pickup the ball and successfully pass it!
With some very cunning play i engineered a 1 dice push on the ball carrier to force him back into the cage where a tackler could hit him... heh i rolled a pow tho and the tackler wasnt needed :P

Then recovered the ball after more fighting and decided to try and sideline attack where my frenzy could be more useful.....
Eventually i broke thro for a turn 7 score, had no chance to stall so knew the elves could 2 turn me fairly easily with good KO rolls.

The KO rolls were good but the kickoff result sealed my draw, perfect defence ;)
Easy shutout then, even got my 2 cas finally, but rolled a 1 on the FF roll so that turn 16 gang foul was for nothing afterall :(

anyways gg and a hard fought match.”
