“The Skaven decided to kick in the first half and managed an early ball steal after badly hurting a flesh golem (who regenerated) and a blodge wight (who didn't). The opposing Rat Ogre was a constant menace and pressured us hard. Things weren't looking too bright with the ball lost and some key players out. But then the Skaven decided to stall, which lead to the removal of the rat ogre only seconds later. Still, I couldn't equalize before the end of the first half, leading to a 0-1 score at half-time with the skaven receving in the second half. Things looked bad indeed, since on top of that I didn't even have a full team anymore due to bad ko rolls.

Nevertheless things would change in the second half. A cornered Gutter Runner needed a 3+ dodge to score but failed and we recovered the ball. Meanwhile we managed to do some damage as well, which evened out the odds. Despite constant pressure on the ball (I lost it once, but was able to recover it), I managed to score the equalizer in the last turn, managing a hand-off to a wolf (without any reroll remaining).

That meant overtime and this time we had better ko rolls, giving me a full squad at my disposition. The opposing skaven were a bit battered and had already lost two gutter runners. They also lost the coin toss, giving me the reception of the ball. I picked it up and never lost it, running in the winning the touchdown after a couple of turns.

A pity about the lucky 1d pow on my other blodge wight, which actually killed him two turns before the end of game...

Tense game, but a very entertaining one with the odds shifting in my favor in overtime. ”
