“Luck readings are out due to two server crashes. First was on turn 4 second half, when my luck was 43, his 45.

Second was just a few turns later on turn 6/7 when it was 56-43 to me.

On the final reload, we had a sync error (two balls) and when I did my pushback to free my ball carrier, the player who did the blitz picked up the second ball, and the first ball carrier ran into the end zone for no effect LOL. Zatoc was a true gentlemen and moved his players away to let me do a hand off score on turn 8 in lieu of the TD I should have scored on turn 7.

With the two disconnects, there will probably be no replay.

Team Frederick won the toss but decided to kick. It was long tough drive and my opponent had little luck, rolling double skulls at one stage with his Thrower and causing himself a serious injury (apothed) early in the first half.

After a long long tussle (my apponent's diving tackle and sidestep were causing me a lot of grief) I finally managed a score about 4 turns in.

On Zatoc's drive, the dice were not that friendly and I was ableo to put pressure on his ball carrier and had a couple of chances to score on turns 6-8 but I could not pull off the last piece of the play each drive. Was certainly a very challenging tactical game that was being played.

Second half was a long fight as well. I put pressure on him and he was unlucky to drop a catch with a player just in my side of the pitch on the left wing. He was going to be in some trouble anyway, but him dropping the ball was a bonus (as I didn't have to worry about a scatter) and I was able to recover it.

There was a long tussle near the sidelines which allowed Zatoc to recover the ball, but then I got it back again (AG5 Stand Firm Dodge Blitzers can go anywhere heh).

It was tough still but then my opponent made a mistake by putting his Str4 AG5 Guard guy next to my catcher with the ball (as the other two players marking her were Tackle Sidestep and Diving Tackle Sidestep. I now had a player without Sidestep to blitz through.

However, I rolled snake eyes on a GFI to bring in the second assist (I had a third coming needing GFI too). I was then very fortunate to survive Zatoc hitting my ball carrier with 2 dice three times? (Couldn't see as it was lagged then it all flowed through at once).

However, the situation was similar to before, with the Str4 player next to my Catcher, I could chain push him into my Catcher and away from the Diving Tackler and Tackler and get to the end zone with a 3+ dodge with rr if I only got a push.

I made the 2+ dodge, and the 2+ GFI to send my Str4 Catcher into the corner postion to do the chain push and I got a lucky pow (though a push woulda been a decent chance to score too). Due to the syncing problem with two balls, this is when I then picked up the second ball heh.

My Catcher with the first ball ran into the end zone for no score and to save us reloading many times over trying to replicate, Zatoc offered to just dodge out the way to finish the game.

The final score was 2-0 but it was a very closely fought match and it coulda easily been 2-1, 1-1 or 1-0.

End of the day though, no one got hurt and we both got money. Perfect outcome.”
