| Greenskins vs shiny green scales |
It was a fairly even game although the reptiles had the upper hands in most blocks due to the strength of their big "saurus" players. They also had greater mobility. The big kroxigor monster was frequently bogged down by the attention of two or three orc players.
Kick off
It wasn't long before the first casualty. One of the Wrekkers was knocked out.
The Blinglizards got the ball out to one of their fast running chameleon skinks on the wing.
The ball ended up near the Wrekkers end zone. A pass forward went awry.
And on the very last turn of the half, the ball got flung forward and caught by a quick footed skink for a Touchdown!
Half time: Blinglizards 1 - 0 Wrekkers
The second half was dominated by the Wrekkers for several turns. However they were stuck in a very congested midfield. Despite looking in a good position to march upfield and score, the Blinglizards rallied round and prevented them from making any progress.
Eventually the ball-carrier got blitzed, the ball went loose and mayhem followed. There was high drama as players on both sides fumbled and failed to pick up the ball, which also bounced into the crowd and was thrown back several times.
Eventually, however, a different skink (nicknamed "Tapey" after an impromptu running repair on the figure) was able to pick up the ball and successfully "rush" two extra squares to score on the very last turn of the second half!
Final score: Blinglizards 2-0 Wrekkers
Lessons learned...
...the dice will always betray you
...halfway through we discovered we were treating players who had been knocked over the wrong way
...the orcs are surprisingly underpowered while the lizard-men have a good mix of power and speed
...passing is hard
