Played Russell and his Dwarves last night, with a 2-0 Victory for me.
The Dwarves had obviously done something to incur the wrath of the dice gods, as Russells rolling was awful, which really hampered him.
The Orcs got off to an early start, managing to cause 3 casualties on the first drive, on of them a Slayer who sadly popped his clogs. My Veteran Blitzer managed to run it into the end zone for a touchdown. The rest of the first half was inconsequential.
At the beginning of the second half, the Dwarven Deathroller set up and proceeded to smash through my line - although couldn't cause any casualties. The dwarves were depleted by this point with 3 casualties and one KO who refused to return, yet through good tactical play they very nearly scored.
A Blitzer made a dash for the end zone, only to trip and fall at the last minute (Rolled a one on a go for it). My thrower decided to make a move and picked the ball up, but failed the throw and the ball dropped. On the turnover the Dwarf Blitzer tried to pick it up and score, but fumbled again and the ball went flying into the stand, only to be flung 11 squares up the pitch right next a waiting Orc Lineman, who picked the ball up and walked it into the endzone.
In the second half I managed to cause another two casualties, one of them fatal, and Russell caused one which was a minor injury.
I got 80,000 gold winnings and plus 1 fan factor, while Russell got 70,000 and didn't lose any.
