“The very first game in FUMBBL for Coach Ansbach and The Black Canyon Blitzers!

This was a decent opening game fought to a 1-1 draw against the Horde of Underdeep, a 0-0-1 Skaven team who were fortunately playing without their Rat Ogre. Coach Ansbach commited several rookie mistakes in the first half, but then things settled down in the second half and the Blitzers played extremely well. Things got off to a rocky start as the Blitzers forgot to cover the wide-zones and the Horde scored early on a nice 3-player combo. The Blitzers then made a feeble attempt at a cage run, but mistakes and poor blocking stopped the drive in it's tracks. They almost scored anyway, but the ball carrier pulled a hamstring running for the endzone. A solid drive would have won them the game - looks like the Coach is a bit rusty on cage forming! The lesson was learned in the second half, however, as the Blitzers put together a textbook 6-turn TD drive to tie the game and then held off a last ditch effort by the Skaven that included an end-of-game foul - Dirty Rats!!! After the game the Blitzers added an Apothecary to the payroll - they won't always be playing soft, squishy Skaven!”
