My Dwarves managed to pull off a 2-0 victory over Jim's Chaos yesterday.
It started with a pitch invasion, I had 4 players stunned while Jim had 2, but one of them was the minotaur, Jim recieved but had a very short first turn. The early first half Jim picked the ball up and started forming a pocket with the minotaur in front, and everyone else was battling it out at the halfway mark - not a lot of finesse with both teams preferring to run the ball and use their fists (or horns).
Mid first half a dwarf runner managed to sneak his way round through a gap and blitz the beastman carrying the ball, and a giant ruck then ensued. The minotaur was knocked out by a trollslayer and the dwarves grabbed the ball and pounded up the field as fast as their stumpy legs allowed. The Choas team was unable to prevent a late Dwarf score in the first half.
The second half was another brutal 8 turns, the Dwarves recieved and although two got badly hurt (Jim had one Chaos warrior hurt), the Dwarf team managed to work their way up the pitch although bothered by one crazed beastman who kept knocking the ball carrier over, the Chaos team were never able to get their hands on the ball (they preferred tryin to bash and foul the stunted ones...two Chaos players got sent off!) and the Dwarves eventually took it over the line for the win late in the second half.
Got 60000 for winning so now have 90000 in total, saving up for another re-roll. One of my runners (kadilli) got dump-off, and my second blitzer (bofur) picked up mighty blow. Forward the Hammers!
