“Burlesque Beastman Brawl round V

We're facing bicarbonateofsteve's equally rated chaos beastmen. We both have a DP, a MB and a claw on the pitch so surely it will be bloody! Both teams have 12 players.

We kick and they start things off by KILLING one of our beastmen on the LOS! That's the 2nd game in a row this has happened!! They follow up with a gang foul that badly hurts another one. On their 2nd turn their claw-man badly hurts one of our +MA beastmen. We are quickly running out of players here! They score on the same turn to take the lead. We have 9 players left for the rest of the match.

But our claw beast's first block is good, MNG'ing one of their rookies. Our beast goes for his 2nd multiblock of the game, getting a both-down that KO's one of their beasts. We run the ball forwards, but don't have enough players to keep it safe and they blitz it down, then pickup in a tackle zone and dodge away... but trip up on a GFI! We try and dodge back to recover... and our 2nd +MA beastman is also badly hurt!

We are just about able to stop them scoring a 2nd but have no hope of scoring ourselves this half. They then niggle our clawed beastman on a 1d block.. ouch! We go for a DP foul on the last turn of the half (eye on them) ... and get sent off!

We now have just 5 players for the 2nd half vs 8 of them. We'll need a miracle here! We do well in the first couple of turns, knocking over every beastman near us, then engineering a tiny bit of space with our beast, handing off to a beastman in 'just' one tackle zone, who then dodges and sprints for the endzone! They have to dodge and GFI twice to get him... and slip up! We run in the TD to make it 1-1 but it's only turn 4 and they get two KO wakeups vs 0 for us: it's 10 v 5 now!

They knock over a couple beastmen, then DP foul one for a stun while picking up the ball. We blitz their claw with our MB... both-down... both KO'd! We try our best to get around the ball carrier, but he's able to dodge away and handoff to a waiting beastman downfield- they score the next turn to dash our hopes and secure the win.

A painful game from the very beginning! Well won bicarbonateofsteve! ”
