Norsca Union League

This is it, everybody is waiting for another match report from a high-scoring game between two Undead teams, just like last week! Well...


If my game last week was a TD bonanza, this was a pure undead slugfest. Meaning, both teams took their sweet time to score while bashing the other side to bits. Stup...born ones succeeded in the latter better, scoring bunch of injuries and deaths but as Napoleon's necromancer was sharp as a Harvard educated razor-edged tack, only one MNG slipped into casualty box. Stup...born ones scored easy on the last turn after extremly lucky armor+injury bashing. Astronauts on the other hand had to rely on their elf sprinter (deceased) to make the equalizer with some showy dodging on the last turn of the Khemri side.
Extremly nice and friendly match, well played from Napoleon. Thanks again for the game, mate!

Season 32 is on it's last legs, so lets start the discussion on S33!

Season 33 will be Unlimited TV, so any team that's played just in NUL leagues is eligeble to take part.

I'm in with my stress relief team of Stup...born Undeads. For future reference, I'll be away on vacation from January 3rd to 16th, if the league starts before/during that time and my game is holding up the league, I'm okay with admining it. But we'll see to that when the time comes.

Just your average low-scoring bash-fest between two undead sides, nothing to see here folks... wait... what?


Friendly affair, but with one nasty death on a Nurgle warrior. Unusual amount of TDs. The Stup...born ones started on an offence and got the ball in fast when a rotter was sent off by the ref and a lane opened up to the goal. Good defence forced the Undead to score fast. Pestigor botched the pickup on Punks offence which gave the Undead opportunity to put pressure on the ball and take it away with a lucky injury and Nurgle Beast being reaaaallly stupid. Fast 2-0 lead and two turns on the clock for the Punks but then the crowd rioted and the Nurgle side had 1 more turn. This surprised the Undead who were in a prevent formation so Punks got in deep fast. The half ended with a Pestigor blitzing his way into the endzone for the 2-1 goal.
Second half started with the Punks undermanned but a KO later numbers were even. Nurgle side fainted an attack on the right flank and Undead overcommited their defence there. Two Pestigors and a Warrior took advantage of this and switched sides to the left. Undead did what they could, but couldn't prevent a brave Pestigor who saw that the Undead wizard was already looking at the sky for a suitable cloud to call a lightning bolt from and thus the ball-carrying Pestigor gave it all he got and scored the equilizer. Plenty of turns left for the Undead to attack, so the final drive was the most undeadly of all. A slow slog to the endzone with midfield bashing deciding the game when mr. Grey the Mummy deaded a Nurgle Warrior and firebolt stunned a bunch Punks threatening the ball-carrier.

This one was a real fun game, Lars played well but three double-skulls, both-downs on blockless and numerous 1s on Really stupid really made his job hard today. Thanks again for the game and good luck in the last one, Lars!

Hi Lars, time for us to see how many of our players change sides in middle of the game. I'm a bit busy at the moment, so the only available CET start time for me would be:
- Saturday any time after 15.00

If that suits you, sir, that would be splendid. If not, suggest a time next week on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and I should be able to make it work.

Upgrade to latest version done, php support should now be OK. Forum looking bit wonky, will try to fix all as it was.

If this is not the most nuffled armor+injury roll match I've ever taken part in, it's guaranteed top 3. I was breaking chdorf armor left and right. I was actually relieved that Saitani managed to score the equilizer even though lightning bolt brought down the centaur headed for the goal. Was pretty close to scoring the go-ahead goal, but my only failed block of the game and the resulted turnover prevented any serious threats to the draw. Sorry again for the nuffling, Saitani, and better luck in the rest.
