Here's the scenario. its half time in a PBEM game, i wont reveal the league to protect ID's. Anyway I am winning 1-0 and looking in goood shape, until a crummy kick off result ko's 4 of my players and two fail the sweltering heat roll. So basically i am in the crap.
The game continues as normal, and i'm expecting my opponent to quickly run the ball in then swarm my players when i get the ball back and take an easy 2-1 victory, with very probably little i can do to stop him.
Plans get complicated, when somehow i manufacture a 1 die Blitz on the ball carrier which knocks the ball free, i've no movement left to pick it up, and the next few turens result in the ball being fumbles around. When he finally recovers it, by this time me another ko down and a few men on the floor. instead of bludgeoning a way through he retreats alittle, presumably for a long pass or something ( hey i'm no mind reading i'm just trying to read what was happening, how wrong could i be ). At this stage all i can do is stand players up and await the charge or pass for a TD. it didn't come instead he retreated further away. Cheekily i mail back that he's obviously playing for the draw, and now with only two turns left he sends me a mail sdaying he's made the TD and the scores are sat at 1-1. Strange since at this point there was no-one within TD range even with a pass. Much to my amusement i open the file to find he's run the ball into his own end-zone, then set up his players for the next kick off, in my half.
It could only happen in E-mail
, sent this to me today. What a great sport!!
