Phil did indeed give me a beatdown.
GOT HIT HARD!
Silly skink getting into the wrong place at the wrong time to ruin that
Game started with a favorable kick-off event for Spike-a-thon meaning that the team were able get a free turn. could get a skink to catch my own kick. Some nastiness in the middle meant that said skink was left all on his own 5 squares from the line... One, then two dwarves moved in to take out the skink, a third came blitzing in only to suffer a sudden fit of nerves and could only push the skink out of the way, regaining some composure at the last minute though, managed to strip the ball from the skink's grasp.
Previous nastiness in the middle prevented any other dwarfs moving in and the skink was still standing albeit without the ball. Whilst the skink had lost the ball, being a plucky (read stupid) individual, he went straight for the ball again... it seemed the skink's luck was still in as he successfully dodged two dwarves and gathered the ball. Feeling on a roll, the skink made a move for the line, dodged yet another dwarven hand/foot/whatever else was to hand and made it over the line. End turn 1.
Somehow the lizardmen survived a pounding from some rather irate dwarves, but bobrek's bast4rds couldn't make any headway into the spike-a-thon half. In saying this the dwarf onslaught did manage to claim the conciousness of two skinks, a saurus and the kroxigor. So ended the first half.
The second half started in similar vein to the end of the first. However, there only appeared to be one KO'd skink who wished to exact some revenge. Leaving only 8 players to emerge from half-time. Whatever was said at half-time seemed to have been ignored by the lizards allowing several dwarfs to make some headway into their half. Desperate defense ensued with the ball being spilled several times only to eventually find it's way out to the flank with a dwarf.
Being a dwarf, nothing was rushed. Partly because of the little legs, mostly to do with the brawl occurring in the middle of the pitch. Lizardmen and dwarves traded blows until a saurus, a skink and a dwarf found themselves unable to regain conciousness. One poor skink even failed to survive.
With the lizardmen left with only 6 players standing, the dwarf with the ball finally put his beer down long enough to stagger over the line, just in time too, no sooner had the dwarf made it over the line did the referee blow his whistle and the game was over.
Final score: 1 - 1
Apologies for the rather biased reporting of the first turn, in-game refreshments have made this the clearest moment of the match
Good game, so thanks to waterproofbob for that
