“This game was harder than the score indicated. These Gnomes had a ST4 Blitzer and a Hail Mary Bomber, and made great use of both. Also, one of their contraptions had a heyday with my Earth Elementals, killing one, injuring another, and BH'ing my Incarnate: in fact, we were out-Cas'ed, 5-4, the first time we'd taken more than two Casualties, or more than we'd inflicted. They won the coin toss and elected to kick. We got one Contraption out right away, and secured the ball deep in our half. We managed to make something of a cage, but a Hail Mary bomb KO'ed the carrier, and started a scrum. Largely due to Stand Firm, we were able to dedicate more resources to winning* the scrum, and on turn 5 managed to get the ball away to the point where only the bomber could thwart our TD. He fumbled his bomb, and got stunned, so we walked it in. The second half was 8-on-8, and when they failed a dodge trying to cage up, we blitzed the carrier. He didn't go down, but he failed to dodge away the next turn, Badly Hurting himself. We scooped up the ball and ran it out of reach, but not having any linemen left we had to stall until turn 8 to keep from putting more fragile, developed players on the LOS. 2-0 win, record 8-2-2.

* Depends on what you call "winning": we lost a good player in the process, and our Incarnate went out of the game, but we got the ball.”
