“A great close game. This match started off the same way the Legion's previous one did - with Loyang being removed from the pitch with a thrown rock. He did regenerate, though, meaning that, unlike last time, he would be back later. And this time, one of the opponents went down as well, though only stunned. The Z-Men pushed forwards and scored a reasonably quick touchdown, leaving the Teabaggers four turns to try and even it up, but lost their senior Ghoul for the rest of the game in the process. The single Norse KO did not wake up, though, which would prove a fateful omen. More rocks rained down on the pitch, stunning another northman, but Sigmar1 took it in stride, grinding away at the sacrificial zombies on the line and getting men in position for a TD attempt. A failed handoff allowed the corpses to recover the ball, but not secure it. A 1d blitz allowed the Teabaggers to regain control, running a man into the end zone and passing to him for the equalizer.

Lucky regen rolls and unlucky KO rolls, though, meant that the Norse would start the second half down a man. They broke armour three times in the opening moments of the half, but only stunned the opponents, while the response took one of the Ulfwereners out of the game for good. Their Snow Troll failing his Wild Animal roll on a blitz meant that they were unable to capitalize on the multiple downed corpses, and they settled back, caging while trying to get someone into scoring position for a pass. The ref was either particularly alert or a dog lover, ejecting a lineman from either side for fouls on werewolves. Sigmar1 finally made his move, clearing the way for a run to the corner with his ball carrier, but he had to use a reroll doing so, and when his Snow Troll's block came up double skulls he was unable to get the third man in place to guard. Four GFIs from the Legion used up their reroll for the turn, but resulted in a successful blitz. The Teabaggers tried to return the favour with their hired wolf, but a failed dodge and failed loner roll left the Z-Men with a window of opportunity. They blocked and blitzed the relevant Norse out of the way, snagged the ball and handed it off, while making GFIs whenever needed - all without using their team's precious last reroll. This left their wight seven spaces from the end zone on turn 8, and while the one necessary GFI initially rolled a 1, the hoarded reroll converted that into a 6 for the win.

This game really could have gone either way, and I commend Sigmar1 for his play and courtesy. Good luck in the rest of the season!”
