Empire of Dirt 2-1 Springfield Silverliefs
Game 2 vs Alans wood elves,
The first thing I needed to do pre this game was stick some extra arms on Rotter #10 and give him a real name, so I thought who is the biggest rotter I know? So number 10 was named in honor of my opponent and is now Alan the rotter.
The game then, well I won the roll off for kicking/recieving and despite recently reading an article about kicking 1st half as an option I did the oposite and elected to recieve so I could do at least 3 blocks on my first turn (elves run away you see)
I went for the classic eat up the clock td with the conceede and score plan for the second half.
So the funniest bit in the first half was when my Nurgle warrior was 5 squares from scoring (mv 4) and 1 turn left and alan ran players back and dodged people away to make this a nightmare run in for the poor chaos warrior (Ag 2 no block skill) what would he do? well he took 3 square move to his right and handed off to big baz the pestigor who walked in a touchdown unopposed. Alan’s face seemed to say ar*e.
Seond half starts with alan down players the wardancer had been fouled off the pitch (why wouldn’t you?) and another player was also out badly hurt.
Alan tried a long pass move with a line elf to a player suffering from disturbing presence from one of my players but still managed to pull it off and score.
we set up again I have about 5 turns to score and with 1 mv 6 player and the rest 4 or 5 I would need them just to get down there. The beast set up wide and moved to pin a line elf and a catcher with his tentcles. I tried a similar passing move to alan it failed but I recovered the ball and got big baz 3 squares from a td with a turn left and no elves in a country mile.
A clever combo of blitzes and dodges saw alan able to get his catcher to stand next to baz so a 3+ dodge roll or a 2 dice blitz needing only a push back, push back it is and baz gets his second with no time left on the clock.
post match Alan had rolled up a tiny amount of fans so my fame was +2 with +1 for winning and a roll of 5 I gained 80k from this game with the banked money that allowed me to recruit jeff the nurgle warrior to my team.
I have a rotter out next game due to him getting some face time with mr fist, so still only 11 players next game.
Big baz’s 2 td saw him level up and I have gone for Wrestle as an alternative to block.
I am on holiday th next 2 fridays so am likely to be caught up in my absence
