“The Dwarves started in offence, but got Blitzed! with the Death pushing through with a fast Wight towards the ball.

The Dwarves were in trouble, but managed got a player advantage early by pushing a Mummy out of bounds (using a RR on the frenzy to change a Skull/Pow into a 3+ push).

The Death had the chance to push the Troll Slayer out of bounds by either blitzing with a Zombie, or using the same Zombie to step behind the Troll Slayer on the sideline (with the Ghoul then doing a diagonal block) but the Death did not see this.

They blitzed the ball carrier but only got a Push (50% knockdown as I did not have block) but failed despite using a RR.

The Dwarves had a poor turn as they were not able to do much and Death came at the ball again. A 3+ dodge to blitz was failed, using a reroll, and the block resulted in a push. Then a 2dice against block on the Runner came up Push and Skull/Pow and the Dwarves took the push.

The Dwarves were able to push forward and take out a Zombie with a foul and the ball was kept safe for the rest of the half whilst the Dwarves had amazing hitting power, causing 4 KOs and a couple of cas with fouls.

The Dwarves did score just before half time with 10 on the pitch - 1 Longbeard was BH by a foul and the Death were only able to field 8 players on the 1 turn kickoff (3 out of 4 failed KO rolls). The Death caused a KO with their foul (no DP) before half time and the Longbeard did not wake up.

In the second half, Death started with 9 against the 10 Dwarves. the Death fouled causing a stun, and the Dwarves fouled back with a DP, causing BH on a Mummy, it was now 10 vs 8.

Death fouled back, but rolled 2+2 with +5, not even causing a stun, the Dwarves fouled back with DP at +2 and hurt the second Death Mummy and it was 10 vs 7!

The Death blitzed the Dwarves Runner in the backfield, using a RR to buy a pow, and then got a Skull on a 2dice against block on the line of scrimmage with a Zombie who hurt himself and it was 10 vs 6!

Death were in trouble and threw the ball downfield hoping for some luck. However, it was the Dwarves who had the luck again as they KOd the Death player downfield (their Wight) and recovered the ball behind a wall of defenders - 10 vs 5!

The Dwarves advanced the ball in a cage downfield and the Death tried a desperate dodge into the cage (needing 6+) but the Ghoul hurt himself and it was 10 vs 4!

The result was sealed as the remaining Death Ghoul was stunned and the Dwarves pushed the ball beyond reach before running in a 2nd TD.
--------------
A very one sided match in the end. Neither team had apalling luck with blocks/dodges etc, and I did get Blitzed on the first turn, however, I had very very good armour and injury rolls as I caused 3 KOs in the first half from blocks and 1 from a sideline (the Mummy) and also caused a couple of cas from fouls (think it was 3).

Second half, it was the same with a few KOs, and another two cas with fouls whilst my opponent only got a stun and a nothing on his fouls.

Being so outnumbered, there was little he could do that I was not in a position to recover from, though the first half was a bit tense with both of us running out of rerolls early.

Better luck next time dude.
