“Smack - Round 1:

It was a game of ups and downs for Fangorn Frenzy today. The orc armor was too tough for our attacks - so only 11 orcs managed to avoid getting taken out (only 1 CAS and it was apothed). However, on the flip side, even with the lack of CAS, we picked up 2 key KOs and they sure were afraid of coming back!

We also had bad luck on the kickoff rolls - took a SI on initial kickoff of the game. On the flip side, it was a small price to pay when we picked up a blitz in the second half to help seal the game. One SI is a small price to pay for the win!

Overall, it was a fun game. Orcs took the opening kickoff and went the length of the field. Ref ignored our weak fouls - although we did get some KOs and stuns from them. We had a shot on T8 for a 2d block, but failed the dodge. However, the orc joy was short lived as successful TTM gave us the 1-1 halftime score. Second half, one tree took root and it looks questionable, but some timely bonehead rolls by the orcs and we slipped down the side. Was forced to score early however so 4 turns remained. Looked like it would be close - but we got the blitz off the kickoff - and nothing the orcs could do. We caught the short kick and into the endzone for the 3-1 lead. The halflings celebrated early and watched the orcs two-turn TD in response - but the win was in hand already!

Thanks for the game!”
