“I don't know what either one of us did to anger the Dice Gods... but anger them we did. As soon as either of us started to build up momentum, a bad roll would inevitably bring it to a screeching halt. Each of us could have had twice the number of RRs and they still wouldn't have lasted halfway through a half.

The true game-changing event, however, came on the kickoff to start the second half. I lucked up with a combination of a fluke ball bounce combined with my getting Blitz -- thus allowing me to move several of my players in a position to recover the kick (as well as set up a decent cage). This put the action squarely on his side of the LoS, where it stayed for the rest of the game.

Ironically, however, the lone touchdown scored in this game came late in the seond half (my turn 7, I believe). My Saurus found himself in the right place at the right time (on the complete other side of the pitch) and managed to scoop up the ball on his way into the end zone.

All in all, it was a very entertaining match that ultimately could have had a very different outcome. My opponent played tough right to the end and I'm very fortunate to be going into my next match with BwD2 only down one Skink.”
