“Made the pre-match mistake of not firing a lineman and hiring a thrower and it cost me. Probably an oversimplification to put it like that, but that's how it feels now.

Carrying on a rookie blitzer or one build for it is fine, carrying on a guard one just feels like a waste and I guess the blitzer agreed, 'cause he refused to pick up the ball.

Of course, it's my mistake not using a RR for it somewhere, thinking I could pick of some threatening ghouls and try again. (hint: without tackle, this does not tend to work.)

And all this after a sloppy first half, where my base base base defense got rewarded with several removals, forcing an early score.

Counterscore looked in jeopardy though, when just rewards and skulls came calling. Fortunately, luck returned and a Black Orc dodge and some chainpushes later I managed to dodge it in.

Enjoyable game, lessons learned, maybe?”
