“Wow, another marathon game for this team, again going right to the wire in overtime.
It didn't look like a close match in the first, as the 'orcs' succeeded with practically every die rolled (not a single really stupid failure all half!), and pushed their luck figure up over 80%, while Monty seemed to be using dice with six ones on them! Result, 1-0 at the end of the half, and the RSC rat in the KO box, from which he never returned.
Things seemed to turn around in the second though - after a typical skaven score with the GR dodging through tackle zones to equalise, we faced a 'perfect defence', and then disaster, triple skulls from a troll left the rats with a chance to grab the ball, which they duly did despite the two tackle zones on it... we were lucky to get it back, but as a brutal scrum developed more and more goblins were knocked out, one of the dumb trolls killed himself on a double skull, and in the end we couldn't get the ball over the line. Still, the rats were suffering too, a BH linerat and a dead storm vermin meant we had a 10-8 advantage lining up in overtime.
Some tough blocking from Ripper plus the odd foul improved things further, and in the end the depleted rats couldn't stop us stalling till the end, so game over yeah? Not quite - with a 'quick snap' in the final turn, the sprint/sure feet gutter runner could take things to a coin toss. The 'orcs' watched helplessly as Ripper was pushed out of the way, the ag4 thrower picked up and threw, the GR grabbed the ball and ran, dodged, went for it... and finally fell on the last dodge/gfi into the endzone.”
