Bloodbowl
#3
So my second league game , and this time we welcomed another human team, Stu's Ruddy Redsocs.
The fans anticipation got the better of them, and a pitch invasion ensued just after kick off. By the time order had been restored, and the pitch cleared, 3 players from each side were on the floor.
Stu then safely gathered the ball with his lone thrower, moving to his left wing.
In the centre the two Ogres faced off, both trading blows before they clattered to the ground. This resulted in my Ogre getting stretchered off in the first turn!
I then surged forward and managed to exploit a couple of holes in Stu's flanks.
the Redsocs thrower was now blocked out, and managed to loose the ball to my thrower. My catcher, seeing the ball in friendly hands, sprinted off down the pitch. My thrower launched the ball for a long bomb, which was promptly intercepted by Stu's thrower standing right next to him. Then to compound his mistake he was then charged into the crowd and beaten up!
Stu saw his opportunity and threw the ball downfield to a blitzer. At this point all my players were either tied up by opposition players, too far away, or on the deck, it looked a certain touchdown.
Then 2 things happened that changed the game.
The blitzer , hearing the rising excitement of the crowd, thought it was directed at him personally, and slowed down to wave at the crowd.( Stu decided not to go for it). Then in the centre of the pitch, one of my linemen was tackled, but only pushed back, and with no follow up, found himself free. He raced down the pitch , slamming into the blitzed, knocking him down on his ass.
This brought the very tight first half to a close at 0-0, and I think Stu had edged it.

Second half kicked off with a riot, but fortunately this was brought under control very quickly, and no turns were lost.
Stu was now down to only 8 players on the pitch, and I really needed to make my extra players count, if I was going to have any control of the game.
I grabbed the ball, and surrounded my thrower with players, making a loose cage formation .
In the centre I started picking off the odd player, for the first time in the game I wasn't outnumbered in the centre.
My players moved first to the left, then to the right, looking for a gap to exploit.
A blitzed broke free in the centre and raced for the end zone. My thrower moved forward and pulled his arm back and threw an accurate long pass, which my blitzed dropped in the end zone.
Stu couldn't pull any of his players back, so my disgusted thrower slid on top of the ball to score.
1-0
Stu's fans shouted their encouragement to their team, and he received an extra reroll.
Time was now running out , and the ball was caught up in the centre of the pitch, fist, knees, feet and even teeth were flying in all directions, before it finally broke free to my thrower, who quickly spotted the catcher making a run, threw a short pass which was easily caught, the catcher sprinting into the endzone making it 2-0.
Just time to kick off before the final whistle blew.

A very tight even game, and I think I only came out on top due to Stu's depleted numbers making it easier for me to gang up on him.

My Ogres injury was a mere trifle, as was one of Stu's injuries. His blitzer now has -1 Ag.
The only player to get a level up was my catcher, and got a new skill, so choose Block.
With my winnings I have recruited a new Blitzer, Zigzag.. Oh and my Dan factor went up by 1 to errr 1 .
