My game against Keith last night was a 1 - 1 draw, great game.
The Dwarfs received first and smashed there way downfield in an unstoppable display of brutality before scoring. I think Keith had only 5 or 6 players left on the pitch at the end of the play! The Norse team did not have time to score before the first half finished, where they got some welcome respite and recovered for the second half.
In the second half the Norse received and executed a well thought out drive,, the wizards fireball and the two werewolves creating a gaping hole in the dwarf frontline through which the ball carrier ran. The dwarfs desperate attempts to stop them scoring were to no avail and they levelled, with 4 turns to go.
It was touch and go whether the stumpy legs of the dwarfs would allow them to score in that time, they moved the ball out wide while a runner slipped through an opening in the middle of the Norse line. However the flank move hit a brick wall and were forced back, while the runner was bogged down by the Viking wannabes. In frustration one of my trollslayers stamped on a prone Norseman, and he had to be carried off the pitch. The ref saw the dirty trick and the dwarf was sent off, ending the match.
Thanks for the game Keith! Look forward to the next one.
We played a quick game of battlefleet gothic instead of doing all the post match stuff, so I'll grab someone next week to witness my advancement rolls etc.
