Game 8
Texans 1 Vs 2 Tiranoc Termites (Elf union)
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to throwing dice out the door!
Itd been a few week since my last game so i was really looking forward to playing again, been in good form, few decent results, so Nuffle obviously thought "hey, this lad is having too much fun, lets bring him back down to earth"....
Straight from the very first kick off, Nuffle stuck it to me (though the Elf coach did know what he was doing to fair to him), the Elves kicked off, rolled the Blitz result, took down a Chorf and caught their own kick! Im not 100% sure we played it right, the elf moved onto the ball space and caught it (in two TZs with nerves of steel) before the bounce was rolled for, it seems right to me but were both unsure tbh.
Anyway, no worries, smash the Elf, take the ball back, roll down the field, what could be simpler?...
6 Block Dice (including a RR) were thrown at the Elf, and the best i could muster was a push, unbelievable! They scored on turn 2 after a simple pass-catch-dodge combo, nerves of steel is awesome. 1-0 Termites.
By turn 6 id equalised with a BC after the two broke away and couldn't be stopped, 1-1 was decent enough but i couldn't shift the Elves off the pitch, only 1 CAS with the Mino meant the Termites were still able to cover the pitch with ease and with 4 Catchers and MV8 it seemed relatively easy.
Another Blow came when a Chorf left the pitch injured and the Elves then moved round me with ease to score a second before halftime! 2-1 Termites.
The 2nd half got even worse...
By turn 3 id managed to stop the Elf drive and knock the ball free into a favourable position for me, about 6 squares from the LOS, right cage up round the ball pick it up, move forward slowly, cause a few CAS on the way, draw 2-2, id take that.
NO!
For 4 turns in a row i failed to pick the ball up! A BC failed 2 4+attempts, brought in a Hobbo for the 3+, he failed 2 aswell! Give me a break!
The Mino also failed 4 Wild Animal rolls in a row, thats when the dice went out the door literally! I threw it against the wall in a rage, it bounced off there, against a cabinet and out the shop door! As if things couldnt get any worse the lads in the shop took great delight in telling me that the dice i threw out rolled a 6 on the road outside!!
The game ended 2-1 with a couple more CAS scored by me late on, a Chorf levelled up with the MVP but other than that this was a pretty bad day at the office for the Texans.
