“Tactical Takeaways-

1. Lizardmen are Fast

Just amazing how quickly the lizards cover ground, especially when playing as a very similar team type with Black Orcs. I had quite a bit of movement envy this game. Especially after getting a draw on a rush into the endzone.

2. Positioning

Final drive I put up a screen that was effectively useless because I hadn't accounted for how for the skinks could actually move. Likely a winning play if position the goblin in a way that forces dodges rather than assuming I can cut off the path based on movement.

3. Progress the Ball When You Can

Being that Black Orcs are so slow, I think it's important to not just view the first 1-5 turns as a mash fest, but instead to constantly be looking for anyway to progress the ball even a square - perhaps especially a square. One big issue I run into when trying to push the ball on turns 6-8 is that my bigs are just too slow to move the cage a significant distance. Instead of the idea that we'll go 4,4,4 in the final turns, it's better to think of how we can be going up a square whenever possible. ”
