“Theit second game pitted the Skitterleapers against a brand new High Elf team.

The rats recieved, and pushed forward.

Turn 3 I screw up. I could have blitzed and pushed one of the elves for two shots at taking him out, and advancing the ball pretty much next to the End Zono. But NO!

Instead i throw one ineffective blitz, and move up one step, giving away a block in the process...

And that door closed. On the other hand he pretty much moved his whole team up against the northen sideline to block my advance there, while leaving the midfield undefended.

I exploited that hole, and scored in turn 5.

1-0


He pushed forward in the middle, left an opening which I pounced, and had the ball bounce into a blitzers hand. The blitzer was surrounded but got chainpushed out of the huddle and scored.

1-1

Second Half

His first action block: [BOTH DOWN][SKULL] RR [SKULL][SKULL]. I blitzed the would be carrier away, threw some blocks, then swept the ball up and passed it up along the north sideline.

The a little pushing and then there was:

2-1

Perfect defence led to him not getting too many good blocks. A late [SKULL][BOTH DOWN] opened up for me to attack the carrier who was open from one corner. An amazing string of rolls wrestled the ball free and swept it up and halfway down the field. The elves didn't manage to get the ball free and the score was soon:

3-1

The last half of the second half basically had the elves send a carrier with a one man escort along the north sideline. He was taken down, then it all bunched up and noone managed to get the ball free.

A bit lucky for me, but I had a few too many opportunities to free the ball to make me think it was all luck.”
