“The first match of the <a href="http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&group=377">Nux</a> Champions League 2 has been played, and it was a doozy. With three norse players missing the game, the Dinos had a 28ST advantage over Team Gaul. Despite a fairly regulation two-turn score from the opening kick-off, I was sure I was going to lose all game. Nuffle seemed to hate me, Willard73 was having great success at his caging strategy, and he was even getting away with some fouling. He scored rather easily halfway through the first half, but a two-turn riot ended any chance I had of leading at half time. My star catcher got badly hurt, and late in the second half at 1-1 I rolled three doubleskulls in two turns, and things were looking rough. The ballcarrying skink inexplicably made a lone mad dash for the end zone, leaving him exposed on his own, and Team Gaul rushed to meet him. The Norse blitzer failed to bring him down, however, and it was still looking good for the lizards. However, Willard73 chose this moment to roll a doubleskull, without a reroll left. The ballcarrying skink was duly upended, the ball was dropped by a norseman, but the crowd must have contained some Gaul supporters for they flung it far into the Dino's half. On turn 7, a norse lino managed to dodge away to pick up the ball, but fell over as he was going for it, wasting the last of the Gallic rerolls on yet another snake eyes. Thankfully, the vital pickup by Fulliautomatix succeeded, and the lone blitzing Dino could only push the ballcarrying norseman closer to the line, allowing him to score on the last turn of the game to wrap up the win.”
