I love madvig...in a manly, competitive sort of way - nothing weird, you understand. But he really knows how to play this game and regularly trying my luck against Cubic is one of life's great joys. If I could beat them, it would be even more joyous, but maybe that's expecting too much. And to be honest, it doesn't really matter anyway.

As games against Cubic go, this one was actually a bit sucky, thanks to a blizzard that stayed with us for the entire match and obviously scuppered any hopes I had of a big-numbers passing game. In fact, the passing game pretty much lost me the game anyway, with the thrower rolling a 1,1 for two of his vital passing attempts and then, in an attempt to repair the damage of the second one, he failed a dodge and injured himself.

The problem is - as I've said before - you just can't afford to make mistakes like this against Cubic, because their gutter runners will punish you for it every time. As was the case here. Both my fumbled passes were picked up by gutter runners and run in for scores and it turned what was looking like being a rare win for Sensation into a messy loss.

It would have been a lucky win anyway. madvig had some poor luck in his first two turns and turned the ball over to give me the first score. Then he failed a dodge and took out his own player (a KO, if I remember correctly) giving me another cheeky score.

After that, things got a bit more balanced (that was around the time of my first fumbled pass) but the big difference between us was the fact that madvig just couldn't break the wood elves' armour. I'd picked up a couple of merc linemen with my inducements, thinking that I'd need the extra manpower, but it wasn't until turn 4 of the second half that I needed them. At the same time though, the skaven were crumbling - an early hit on a gutter runner resulted in a -MA which then became a -AG after the apo had gone to work on him and a fairly useful lineman followed suit late in the second half (along with a couple of BHs along the way).

But in true madvig style, the rats kept trying, kept pushing, and kept being in the right place at the right time to capitalise on my mistakes and this was what won them the game.

I certainly could have played better. Two of my scores relied on me gfi, (which is not such a great idea in a blizzard) a little bit more care with my placing would have put me on the right square. Also, the same happened with the thrower, who tried to keep out of the range of the pesky gutter runners and their diving tackle, but was forced to throw from a TZ after I miscounted (and, to be fair, after madvig successfully went for it twice to get there, which I hadn't expected).

And after all that, I managed just 4 for 24 with the thrower to go with his two fumbles and a self-inflicted BH. Not his greatest game ever. Also, Thursdaynight came away with nothing, despite his best efforts to hit anything that strayed too close. But again, with the blizzard raging, he wasn't really in the mood for any of his daring four-yard blitzes and those little fellas just kept running away from him for some reason!

So we lost, ended up with a pathetic amount of gold and some fans abandoned us. But no injuries and a skill for the rookie catcher. I'd say we came out about even.

Thanks, madvig. Always fun. Always high-scoring. Always a pleasure.
