I hope they're not planning a vicious campaign of hit and run defeats.  |

Cheers for a great tourney to all attended.
Used Norse, 9 linemen, 1 thrower, 2 catchers, 1 mino, 2 TRR, 6FF + an apoth.
Every oppo (other than Justin, who knows my team well) said no blitzers????
Game One vs Garil using Dwarves
Just what I wanted with a rookie mino....
I received and promptly beat up the dwarves, causing 2 casualties (failed apo roll) and knocking two out! Scored at the end for a 1-0 lead, and looking good.....
I kick off at the start, and promptly two of my linemen go off the pitch, and it suddenly doesn't look so good. Manage to get to the ball, but can't hang on to it (fail my second pass of the game), and so Garil shows what good passers Runners are, and promptly scores to tie it up. 1-1 draw.
Game Two vs Mark using Dwarves
Oh goodie. Dwarves again. But G'rrk (the Minotaur) has block at least now, so that'll be fine.
I receive, and beat the dwarves up again. However, G'rrk decides he doesn't like 2-die blocks and goes down (double skulls), and the dwarves then get and protect the ball, so we go in tied at half time.
2nd half and I manage to sieze the ball, and drive down the pitch. All it needs is my passer to complete a pass..... He fails, and Mark grabs the ball and sets up a cage. I resign myself to him scoring and decide to pick on the dwarves on the other side of the pitch. Luckily for me, Mark sends most of his players back into the melee, to which I promptly run around them forcing him to score. Bjarnie (the thrower) finally makes a completion and I score in two turns to equalise. I didn't deserve to!
3rd game vs Simons lizards
first time I'd played lizards, so I wasn't sure how I would do. However bribing their coach with alcohol seemed to work 
Got lucky and took a Saurus off first block, and then set out on Skink killing. I then had a sufficient player advantage that always kept Simon on the backfoot, and he never got that bit of luck to get him back in the game. Much taunting between the Krox and G'rrk as well! (sadly the Krox won their own battle in the end). 2-1 to me overall on TD's though.
4th game vs Justins undead
Having got stuffed using woodies vs Justin at the last tournament a chance for revenge.
I received, and felt confident from there. Battered Justin around, killing a mummy and getting numerous knock-outs, I ended half time one-nil up, despite G'rrk double skulling again.
And at last the FF come into play! 5 player pitch invasion, hits the mummy, two ghouls, and two wights. Justin can't compete, and I jsut batter him some more leaving scoring until turn eight. Not a very enjoyable game for Justin.....
Game five vs Dan and lizards
Having played Simon I tried the same sort of tactics. Eric the lineman was a star, killing two Skinks on turns two and three of the first half. However G'rrk let me down again with a skull on a one die block, and skulls twice on half die blocks (the only three not-two die blocks in the game for him!). However because of casualties I was again able to control the game, but I let Dan mug the mino with Saurus and this gave him a free move with a skink (the only one left!) who charged down the pitch for the equaliser! Very tight game overall, probably the closest I had of the tournament.
Game six vs Joe and Humans
At last, a softish team (no big guy!). Turn one And I had two linemen off (dirty player sent off, one with block injured). But from there, despite getting through his armour continually, I couldn't get him off the pitch. He forced a turnover early in the first half (G'rrk double skulling). Second half and it looked ok, forced him in the corner and he needed a miracle to score..... He did! Too much from there for me to come back from, and although we both scored another two TD's each (high scoring second half!) it ended 4-2 to Joe. He played very well, taking good advantage of the slow speed of the Norse. Winning all four brilliant coaching rolls seemed appropriate as his tactics were better....
So 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss. Not bad, especially as the mino really underperformed dice wise, and I never got to play the nice squishy elf teams. Cheers to all my opponents for good games, and the standard of play was very high, certainly the highest of any of the tournaments I've been to.
Most dissapointing was only ten casualties in six games. Bleedin' dwarves.....
