Awesome game against Jim, finished with Sotek's Slitherers taking a 1-0 Victory.
The game started with Jim kicking off, and taking a quick Blitz. Several of the Saurus took a beating, and Jims Minotaur managed to knock both himself and my Kroxigor down. Taking the first turn of the game, the Lizards looked to be in trouble, with the Saurus just able to stand up, and not punch a hole for the nimble Skinks to advance through. However with the Minotaur on the ground, Mine-mo spotted an opportunity to keep the big beast and his tentacles down for longer, and with the help of some friends, he fouled and beat the armour roll. At least the stun, would keep him out for another turn, and maybe a casualty would follow. So with the dice bouncing round, first a 4 settles and then a second 4. Awesome, just a stun, and my catcher is now spending the game in a hot spawning pool looking on. Jim's first turn saw him batter my team, beat my armour and kill Splatti. Luckily my apothecary stepped up, and saved the Saurus, but his broken ankle was beyond repair, so I am now two men down before my second turn, both had skills (Catch and Block,) and the bigger of the two is now out of the next match and hobbling around at MA 5. Tit for tat over the next few turns, Jim getting some Beastmen on the ball, me knocking them down, but I have managed to injure the Minotaur. Thats a huge threat out of the half, and hopefully longer. On my turn 6, finally a Skink breaks through. Counting the distance, I push the little guy a square further, and make the roll. All he has to do is walk in and I finish the half one up. Unfortunately Jim had a Beastmen tied up in tackle zones, but some nifty play sees him open a gap. This son of chaos is close enough to get to the Skink, but he cannot Blitz, meaning I am now in a tackle zone. Still how hard can 3+ with a re-roll be? Well apparently very, seeing as my single action saw me roll a 1 then a 2. With Jim having just two turns, his passing game needs to be good to score, and the Slither's scramble to put tackle zones on his runners, and the half finished scoreless.
Taking kick-off in the second half, I am somewhat relieved to See Jim with just 9 players to my 11, and his Minotaur is still recovering from an earlier injury. So what do I roll on the kick-off chart? Do I get a Blitz to counter Jim's? No its a Quick Snap, and the Chaos players move into position. With two physical teams, a few rucks start to ensue, as Jims Beastmen receivers seem unable to handle the ball. Eene-meene sees his armour beaten, and without an Apothecary left, I take a nervous injury roll. It's just a groin strain, so he's out of the next game, which means the two players recruited during the season, will at least leave me with a full complement next game. Eventually Katchi-niggy makes the break, ball in hand, and crosses the line. Jim now has two turns to tie the game, but he is doing it against 10 Slitherers to his 9. Sorry make that 10, as the Minotaur recovers just in time to help bash a hole in my lines. My last two turns see me manoeuvre about, trying to tie his players up, whilst avoiding making rolls for fear of knocking some of my key players on their asses. Jim sees an opportunity to tie, with his last turn, but things work out for the followers of the Old Ones, and they maintain a shut-out.
Despite loosing two players for the next game, Katchi-niggy's Touch Down, leaves him on 7 SPP. That results in a skill up, and he now takes leap into the next game. Bashi a Saurus caused a casualty and he also sits on 7 SPP, and with a normal skill, see's him pick up the Break Tackle skill. Finally Wallop-a-tree my Kroxigor who picked up his first SPP with a casualty, was also granted my MVP, which surprise surprise left him on 7 SPP. His roll saw me roll Box Cars, and after much deliberation, the 1/36 chance of Double 6, won over, and he is now running around at ST 6. He's now going to be very difficult for opponents to get to 2 in their favour, whilst just 1 assist, will often see him performing the fabled 3 dice blocks, against ST 3 teams. Game winnings see 70000GP get added to the 60000GP the team started with, and this finally left me able to buy a third team re-roll.
