“His one handicap rolled was mickey finn; among the worst he could do to me.
(if not THE worst)

Let's say he killed no one and that the two seriously injured players were unskilled lino-rats. One niggle though.

Anyway; I receive first half and had decided to score with the lino who got mvp last match. So I blitz with my RO in my second turn and get both down. doh. Ah well; 3rd turn to score ain't all bad I guess.

He receives, sends forward multiple possible receivers, picks up the ball and scoots back. I put a gutter next to him in my turn, yet he dodges away and passes, aiming for his catcher. My other gutter however intercepts the ball. He scoots forward to the gutter I had sent deep the turn before and hey presto; 2-0 (Gutters are evil!)

He receives again and decides to pass immediately to his catcher who was only a few squares away from my endzone. I blitz the elf with 3 dice and we both scramble for the ball, both without RR by now but in the end he can score 2-1.

Second half; my 10 (one si by now) vs his receiving elves. I manage to blitz his ball-carrier with 2 dice (always a gutter handy for that valuable assist) but I only push. Re roll; double-skulls, lino badly hurts himself to boot. (doh) He blitzes my gutter (to get him out of the way and double-skulls too. (doh but now for him!) I already had a gutter next to the thrower and blitz with the other (had a mere 7 rats on the field by now) and manage to knock him down. The one already standing next to the thrower picks up the ball and rushes to the endzone. 3-1 and nothing he could do since he had no sweeper left behind.

My KO does not return and I still have a mere 7 rats on the pitch. He manages to KO my thrower and a gutter before scoring and none of these return. (probably faked their unconsciousness! Decided to stay safe in the dug out) With 5 players, 2 turns left and no RR I did give it a go but failed to even pick up the the ball.

All in all a good game had he not seriously injured 2 of my players (1 niggle).
