Norsca Union League

Sigh... Was just writing a longish report when my browser decided to crash for some reason. Reminded me why I used to write the reports in an auto-save Editor when I had time for the long ones. But anyways, don't feel like trying to repeat myself, so here's just the report:


Lovely and relaxed game that also doubled as a regular season concert, as the ZEN who were hired to perform the concert decided to do it a the same time as they were playing the match. Kvasilad played nice defence and deserved the win, even though he only made one Ogre Airline play. Thanks for the game, Kvasiman, see you next season!

Final match day is on! Not much hope for either of our teams, J-R, although I guess you still have a very theoretical shot at the finals?

Anyway, it's the first time I have 5 ogres on the field, and I'm excited about it!

Play times, however, can be hard. I think Thursday 19+ is good, Friday 20+ is probably good.

Weekend is uncertain, but if you squawk in our Discord channel, I might suddenly have the time for a match.

Failing all that, it's next week sometime.

Yup, time to see if my bards can make an impression on your Ogres. Could be a hard mission, as I fear your guys are more used to rock music (you know, the kind where you make your ears ring by bashing a rock at your head). But anyways, Friday should work, I'm going to see the new X-Men flick but should be back home ready to play at around... 20.30.

If that fails, I'll Disco around on weekend.

Tomorrow (friday) @20 sounds real tempting, you up for that matey? ^^

That'll work fine, I'll try to stay up that late See you tomorrow!

All righty, this was one one of the purest bashy vs bashy match I've ever seen. Dwarfs started on the attack but the lizzie line held and even though one Saurus was -ST injured (and then killed by an apothecary who may or may not have been missing a corpse for a lecture he is about to have tomorrow in the University of Butchering for Doctors and Meatpackers), and Dwarfs couldn't get past with deeper Skink wall preventing deep penetrations. Dwarfs went for a break on the last possible moment, Lizardmen responded by sending a Skink to a scoring distance. Ball-carrying Dwarf managed to stay on his feet initially but then was forced out of bounds by a second block and the crowd toss gave the Illuminati a scoring chance. That they took, and thus the first half ended 1-0 for the Illuminati.
2nd half started with the 9 Dwarfs against 10 Lizards, but soon there were only 7 Dwarfs left and second Lizardmen TD seemed invetable. But then two unfortunate blocks followed which gave the Dwarfs a chance for the ball-carrying skink. Down he went and the ball landed next to endzone. There it was fumbled out of bounds by a Dwarf blitzer, perhaps intentionally, as the crowded ball was thrown back into the play and straight into the hands of a Dwarf Berserker. Suddenly there was an (unlikely) chance for a score for the Dwarfs with a deep going for it run from another Blitzer and a throw to him. But that would not be as the inaccurate pass took off succesfully but landed too much to the right for the Blitzer to get it and still make it to the goal. Mindless violence ensued, and then the match ended.
Nicely played by Napoleon, haven't checked the stats yet, but it felt like we both had good and bad breaks with the dice, so everything was about even. It really came down to the side getting most take-outs winning and this time it was the Lizards. Nice game, good luck in the rest, Napoleon the man!

Match day has been forwarded and day 5 is ready to play.

Napoleon, looks like I won't be able to play until next week as I'm visiting the capital of your home country during the weekend. And at the moment I can't offer any other CEST starting times than this:
- Wednesday (the 29th) 18-20

Let me know if that suits you, sir. If not, just offer me a time on Thursday 30th - Sunday 2nd and I should be able to plan around it.

saturday or sunday should work i will ping you on discord.

All righty. Just give a headsup an hour or two before as I might be running or doing some backyard chores.

Another rainy match for the Dwarf bards, but this time with more anticipated goins on. ZEN started on offence, but as their routes were blocked by a green wall that refused to be budged even though individual pieces of it went down. But those pieces didn't crumble and got up to take the beating. So the Dwarfes were forced to change routes couple of times as the BOB line held and the Orc Blitzers were bringing the pressure. This resulted in Metal Orkhestra getting a blitz on the ball-carrier and it was such a nice blitz that Kojo the runner was carried off the field badly hurt. Dwarfs were tied up, so Orcs managed to get the ball. ZEN bards managed to put some easy pressure on, but that did nothing else but forced the Orcs to score 1-0 so early that Dwarfs had a theoretical chance of scoring. That however wouldn't be, as the kickoff resulted in well-planned Orkish Blitz which combined with a shallow kick made the Orc TD much more likely than that of Dwarfs. So, ZEN runner decided to pickup the ball, run to the sideline and dump a ball deep into Orcish territory with a long pass. Bashing ensued and soon after the 1st half ended.
2nd half started 10 Dwarfs against 9 Orcs and soon the numbers got even more skewed when the Dwarfs got their armor breaking gloves on. 2 Bobs were carried off the field and on top of that the Orc Blitzers couldn't get the slippery ball up due to pouring rain. Their second botch resulted in the ball going over the sideline and resulted crowd punt ended up in the hans of a ZEN longbead. Little fella proceeded to run towards the goal as fast as he could but as the carrier was longbeard, Orc Blitzers had no trouble catching him. Dwarfs had a decent cover, but Orcs managed to pick off one of the covering players on two consecutive plays and thus the situation was hairy. Finally the ball-carrier went down few yards away from the goal. Couple of plays later the only chance of Dwarfs scoring was up to a brave longbeard to pickup the ball next to an Orc blitzer, dodge away and go for the goal with speed exceeding his capacity. This brilliant plan ended up failing during the first part of the process as the wetted ball slipped over the hands of the longbeard. Thus, metal music proved to be superior over the noicedoing of the Dwarf bards today.

Hairy match where lack of any armor breaks on the 1st half kept the Dwarfs stagnant and Lars got a chance for the ball, which he used expertly. On the 2nd half tables turned as I got blessed by Nuffle on my armor breaks and injured Orcs left and right and even got the ball early due to a crowd toss. However, as Lars had all of his Blitzers free, he managed to expertly pick off all my cover and finally halted the advance three squares from the goalline. Exciting match that came down to few key dice rolls. Nicely played, Lars the man, thanks for the game again and good luck in the rest!
