Handicaps for Brother-FU - Smelling Salts and It wasn't me (on CW Wilf Rostron).
With the wood elves missing their Tree for this game they had little to hurt our team. In fact, on another day, the chaos would have ripped through the av7 armour with ease considering the array of Str4, claw, MB and RSC on our side. As it turned out we were at a disadvantage with only one player with Tackle - Roger Joslyn. Despite this, we knocked out a lot of elves furing the course of the game. Unfortunately the smelling salts came in to play and brought them back a lot of players for the 2nd half. Up until this time we had scored and had only just missed out on scoring a 2nd, and were foiled by two -2db successful sackings of the ball carrier.
In the 2nd half we scored again, but could not prevent the wood elves coming back and scoring 2-1. Towards the end of the game I was concerned that a Blitz! kick off might earn the elves a draw, but it wasn't to be, as the chaos side managed a last ditch 3rd TD.
Amazingly we inflicted no casulaties... but we did make beastmen dodges and a completion... not often that's going to happen. At the end of the day I was just glad of the win (and I think Brother-FU was glad to have a full team to take to his next game!), but I did notice that already we are above TR190, which, if we get promoted means that I will already have to trim the team. I have a nice store of cash though, and an array of stars to hire, so we'll have to see what we need to do in the coming rounds.”
