“Game 3 for my skaven and we're matched vs 8-man chaos, recently decimated by khemri. They do have some very skilled players though, including a claw/block/tackle beasty which is going to be very painful, and a DP and a MB/guard/block CW. Hrm.

We kick and their first turn sees a KO and 2 BH dealt out on our skaven, evening the numbers immediately!

We counter with a blitz + gang foul to BH their rookie CW. Then we manage to kill their claw/tackle beasty but he's saved by their apo- (curses) and we're able to BH a rookie beastman on the same turn. If numbers on both sides keep going down like this we'll come out on top!

However we can't knock down their +agi +ma dodge beastman with the ball to save our lives and they cage up forcing us to try and break it. Skaven armour as usual runs us out of players as our KO box fills up and soon there are 6 of them vs 5 of us on the pitch.

They decide to bash us rather than attempt to score (which might give us a chance to get the ball) and the half ends with our rookie GR trying to foul their skilled CW with the ref supposedly watching them- but he's sent off and the CW is unhurt! ouch!

6 Chaos set up to kick to 7 skaven with 3 rats left lying in our KO box, what a shambles. This doesn't look good at all. Scoring quickly if we can and good rolls to wake up the KOs is our only chance.

They quickly tackle down and BH foul our rookie GR who pushed through on one side, however that leaves us space to run right down the other wing with the remaining GR who receives our thrower's short pass and seems unreachable. We score but not before on of our SV is BH by the claw beastman- we are losing players left and right here!

They push forward, stunning 3 skaven but when they go for an unassisted block with their troll as their last move he fails his 4+ stupid roll and we have a chance to go for the ball carrier! We dodge one lineman over to assist, blitz with our SV, rerolling to knock him down and then run our GR in who fails the pickup. They turn around and KILL our SV but our apo is able to save him, luckily!

They go for the ball with their agi4- managing the dodges and pickup in a TZ but then fail their last dodge out! This lets us dodge and blitz to free our GR who dodges, grabs the ball and runs downfield. They get a tackle zone on him, barely, but he makes his dodge to make it 2-0 for the rats! Lets hope we don't take much damage in the last few turns..

Luckily the sudden sun has kept their MB CW on the bench, tired out from all the blocks he's been throwing. However they are still able to dodge their tackle claw beastman and blitz down our dauntless GR, niggling him!

In their final turn they manage another BH with their troll and then do an incredibly unsportsmanlike T16 DP foul (they had already caused 6 casualties during the game) for another BH. Bitter about losing I suppose the big babies!”
