“Well, didn't think I'd pull off even a tie against a better coach with a better team, and his vastly superior block dice seemed to back me up. But what does a good chaos team do when half the team is in the BH box (6 BH - one was from a Thrown Rock) and nearly all attempts to bash are uttterly futile? We play like elves, and Nuffle help us, it worked. Ish.

The equalizer was scored on a ludicrously unlikely Long Bomb from chaos warrior to beastman, who had to make numerous dodges into TZ to get open and score the TD. But when outnumbered by (mostly ST4) orcs almost 2 to 1, and you have: 1 AG 1 Big Guy, 3 AG 4 players, and one with Big Hand, playing elfbowl really starts to look like the only game plan left.

After the TD pass, the Orcs had plenty of time to score easily, and not much my elves - er - chaos could do to stop them. But the dice abandoned the orcs at just the right moment, leaving a short pass bouncing onthe ground, and only one orc within scoring range with one turn to go. A quick 2+ dodge (bloody beast-elves) and Blitz later, the only scorable orc was on his arse, and the tie was preserved.

Of course, the fans didn't seem to appreciate seeing chaos-elves playing their elfy nonsense, and 10k more winnings wouldn't have killed me...and although one might think I would be glad to have only sustained 6 BH, anyone looking at my 'casualties received' ratio should see that from a statistically balanced point of view, this team should suffer naught but BH for the rest of its career...

All in all a cool, rather exciting game, and I did learn something important: I need to start rolling more +ST! :D”
