“Nuffle was being quite bitter in this one... 3 casualties in the opening 10 blocks set me back massively. So much for the lack of mighty blow, claw, or piling on for Jimjo's team!

Jimjo had a solid gameplan but Nuffle said no; a disastrous chaos turn followed by some elfing meant it was going to be 1-0 in my favour... but a misclicked blitz (something I do roughly 1 in 3 or 4 games by the way - I really wish the action menu wasn't so fiddly) caused me to do something other than the planned score and the chaos got back to stop the touchdown.

0-0 and... blitz. Not so bad? Dead super star. Pretty bad. That was a nasty one!

Playing a little bit whimsically after that, I made a series of mistakes and Jimjo played better. It was a case of bash vs dodge as my elves made a mockery of tacklezones but bash won out. The darkies succumbed and that was that, a - what I felt to be - victory-turned-draw-turned-defeat.”
