“Very unfortunate game later on. My own first drive went relatively smoothly, pushing chaos warriors and beastmen aside and waiting near the end zone a bit before scoring. The only big kick in the junk was losing my DP to an over-exuberant ref on his first foul.

Second half I had the ball boxed in, loose, near the sideline, with more of my guys near it than his. But rafa managed to push an ogre onto it and the crowd sent it his way. I caught up with the ball carrier late in the half, and had a chance to blitz with an ogre lying next to the beast with the ball, but snake-eyes took away my chance for a 2db and a good shot at winning in regulation.

OT was brutal. First a 64 spp ogre dies of apo failure, then when rafa recovers in the end zone and leaves the beast standing in there, I had a chance to toss a gobbo for a -2db chance at a crowd push. Instead it results in a dead flying gobbo. Down to 4 ogres with the ball heading to the end zone, I had another shot to get it back. My ST6 ogre with break tackle managed to mash his way up next to the ball carrier, and after a lot of blocking away from the ball (with no rr left) results in a skull/skull for rafa, I get a nice juicy 2db on the ball. With no rerolls myself, it comes up push/skullpow, and my ST6 guy is unfortunately not a Block ogre. With limited options left, I chose to knock us both down, in the hope that no rerolls might stop him, but instead the ball bounces right to another beastman who catches it. GAME OVER.

The handicap I got for this one was Iron Man. I gave it to my ST6 ogre, and watching the logs, it prevented 2 cas against him, both by that monstrosity with the sick cas dice who got 4 cas for the game despite the Iron Man.”
