“Awesome game for the elves on their way to completing their grid line (and the season of E.L.F., only a bashy team to go!)

Nurgles stalled it out in the first half, scoring as expected on turn 8. Elves spent most of the game trying to kick downed nurgle players in the head (6 fouls!) Both wardancers killed someone, but one of the players regenerated. Sadly next game will be played with only one wardancer and one catcher, two journeymen instead. The ball carrier was protected by a cage of ST4 Guard pieces, so the dancers didn't even bother trying to get at him, for fear of getting smeared on the ground.

Very stoked with the draw against such a bashy, frightening team. Wish the opponent best of luck, get some more skills on the stinky monsters and they will really be frightening.

Dancing King got 13 blocks in 16 turns, that's a good showing.

In approximately 8 Leaps, only failed a single one and the reroll worked beautifully!

Elves did a proper elf stall in the second half to play for the draw, leaping and dodging around with their pieces after they'd fouled one of two tentacle pieces off the pitch, and keeping the ball safe in the back field with an AG5 piece... then when it was time to score, a quick pass to a catcher in a tackle zone, then two players needed to dodge out on 2+ (both with DODGE skill so not bad), then a GFI (rerolled with team reroll) and a handoff on a 2+... primo elf bullshit, no argument there! (Checked it in Samba and with reroll over 70% chance of success for the sequence. Not bad odds thanks to skilled players)
In the end, the Dancing King beat up the ball carrying nurgle player, only to have the ball scatter into the crowd and being tossed back onto the pitch, with a reasonable play for an AG3 opponent to pick it up and run it in (3+ dodge out failed, rerolled to succeed, pickup on 3+ succeeded, then rolled a 1 on the final GFI to drop the ball in the end zone). Not inappropriate for an exhausted, disease-ridden Nurgle player, but frustrating for the opponent coach no doubt.”
