“Yet another complete joke - and NO it doesn't even out over the games cos this is happening 2 in every 3 games at least. No matter how you play, it is not possible to compete let alone win these games or get anything out of them. Ridiculous.
In response: Thanks for the comments, however, it wasn't a blitz. It was GFI one square to put him in the TZ. Needing 2+ with rerolls wasn't considered a 'high risk' move considering what else had to be done.”
Nigel10 received in the first half and managed a solid drive up the pitch, scoring on turn 5. Ihe kicked to me and his D was good enough that my only option was a TTM to score. Complete luck managed this on turn 8 (troll was in 4 tackle zones and needed a six -- got one).
2nd half Nigel10 got bad beets from the dice. failed GFI's etc. 2 turnovers on his first action ended the half for him and the rest of the game was played out with no real desire to change things from either team.
Edit : Nigel10 quote "No matter how you play, it is not possible to compete let alone win these games or get anything out of them. Ridiculous."
I don't think that's 100% true. I *do* agree with you that there is nothing you can do to stop my first score -- it was all decided by the dice.
However, in the second half the vital turn that allowed me to break for the second td was down to you going for a GFI blitz as your first action with a fenzy BO without block. Even though you had a re-roll this was still a risky action when you could have moved the other orcs into a better position first
I *like* those kind of risky actions but then I'm not a very good coach.
Thanks for the game Nigel10 -- sorry that the dice decided it. I didn't deserve to win.
(edit -- As Nigel10 mentioned it wasnt' a bliz just a move action with 1 GFI with a reroll -- so 1 in 36 chance of failure) so my comment is pretty much meaningless. Hope we play again sometime with less extreme dice.
