An event filled and exciting match between my orcs and Zoraster's halflings. He had about 600k in inducments and bought Zora and the Scariest Tree In The World. I believe its name was Branchmaim Murderbastard.
I managed to shunt Zora off the pitch and injure her during the orcs' drive in the first half, with the orcs eventually scoring after an elf-tastic crossfield pass to a blitzer who was suddenly unmarked after he 2-red diced a tree the turn before and knocked it down. (Zoraster's trees really struggled with the concept of standing up in this match, failing the roll far more than would be statistically likely). I kept Rootslaughter McViolentdeath tied up for most of the match by swarming him with brave black orcs for him to punch, but by the same token Zoraster kept my black orcs and troll tied up for most of the match with Treekill Von Owchthat'smyspleen and one of his treemen, leaving the other tree free to wreak wooden havoc on any of my blitzers who tried to hit his ball carrier.
Zoaster scored in turn 16. I had one turn to win the match. I set up the goblin next to the troll.
He kicked short. THe kickoff dice gave me a reroll. I picked up the ball with a blitzer, took one go for it (there goes the reroll, easy come easy go), handed off to the goblin who caught it. This had already gone better than I had expected.
The troll took a firm grasp on the goblin, swung, and threw straight and true!
The goblin sailed through the air, clutching the ball, and, amazingly, landed successfully. This never happens.
With the hard stuff done, the goblin needed only make one dodge and two go for its to win me the match. He failed the dodge and badly hurt himself. That's blood bowl, folks.
Cheers to Zoraster for such a fun game. The draw was the least he deserved.
