Kobb's Khorne vs. Featherhawks
Featherhawks elect to receive. Khorne lines up in FFB. The Featherhawks get over 800k in inducements, leading to a HMC, a star player, a wizard, a traveling apothecary, and who knows what else.
F1: The match starts with the star player knocking my minotaur out with a stab. One thrower picks up the relatively short kick; the other thrower flanks her. The Amazons make several successful 1-die blocks along the line.
K1: NATAB breaks a couple of tackles to blitz the ball carrier. A couple of Amazons on the line go down, as well. TAB pulls to the side of the field with the ball.
F2: A failed dodge off the top ends the turn very quickly.
K2: NATAB blitzes the other thrower, then picks up the ball and runs it toward the end zone.
F3: Another stab from Zara the slayer stuns a beastman. One Amazon gets beside NATAB, but the other trips up on the way.
K3: NATAB runs the ball in for the score.
F4: Khorne again lines up in FFB, but without the Minotaur, who is still taking a nap. A massive pitch invasion stuns 5 Khorne players, and knocks over 5 Amazons. An Amazon thrower muffs the pickup of the ball.
K4: Tail and NATAB run toward the thrower near the ball. The few remaining players standing on the line make a few blocks, mostly pushing some Amazons backward.
F5: The passer picks up the ball and tosses it to a nearby blitzer. A catcher knocks out Tail with a blitz. NATAB gets taken out by a wizard's blast.
K5: Most of the attempted blocks end in pushes. With nine players left on the field, several still lying down, there aren't too many blocks to make.
F6: Zara finally fails a stab. The blitzer with the ball pushes forward to midfield.
K6: The blitz on the ball carrier just pushes her back. The rest of the team starts to collapse on the ball carrier.
F7: A chaos warrior gets knocked off the pitch.
K7: TAB blitzes the ball carrier down; the ball bounces into the hands of another Amazon. This one gets pushed back, but stays standing.
F8: The thrower with the ball tosses it to a waiting catcher. A foul by a blitzer goes unnoticed, but is ineffective.
K8: TAB injures one of the Amazons.
Halftime Score: Kobb's Khorne 1 - 0 Featherhawks
K9: The minotaur wakes up, giving Khorne 10 players to put on the pitch. They go strong side left, pulling TAB back to receive the kick. The halfling master chef cooks the worst meal of his life, leaving the Amazons unimpressed by his work. They still manage to blitz on the kickoff, however. TAB picks up the ball and starts to run it toward midfield. A series of blocks leaves four Amazons, including Zara, stunned.
F9: A linewoman falls over trying to dodge away from entirely too many Khorne players.
K10: TAB runs up and tosses the ball to Speedy Sprafy, who runs it downfield. Two beastmen trail to block for him. An Amazon gets knocked off the pitch.
F10: An Amazon gets beside Sprafy. Another knocks herself out trying to throw a block.
K11: The last Amazon gets knocked over, so Sprafy runs in for the score.
F11: Neither the two amazons nor the beastman wake up from their naps. Khorne gets as close to FFB as a 10-man line can. The kickoff lands near midfield. A thrower picks up the ball and tosses it to a catcher.
K12: The Minotaur pushes his way to beside the ball carrier, as does one of the beastmen.
F12: A blitzer gets downfield. The thrower goes around traffic, throws a beautiful pass... which the blitzer fails to catch.
K13: A beastman, going to teach the blitzer a lesson, falls over his feet on the way.
F13: The blitzer picks up the ball and runs it in.
K14: Tail wakes up, bringing Khorne back to a full compliment of 11, versus the Amazon's 10. TAB goes back to receive the kick. The Amazons blitz again, but again only push one beastman back. A touchback gives the ball to TAB, who runs forward. Speedy breaks downfield, and the minotaur knocks himself over trying to block a linewoman.
F14: Some players get pushed around.
K15: A Chaos Warrior's blitz pushes an Amazon far enough off the sideline to let TAB slip through. He tosses the ball to Speedy, who catches it and runs it in for the score.
F15: Both teams are back to 11 players. A quick snap pulls every Amazon off the front line. The attempt of the thrower to pick up the ball fails.
K16: An attempted foul on a blitzed Amazon only stuns her.
F16: The thrower tosses the ball to a waiting catcher. The Amazons attempt to foul a blitzed beastman, which is similarly futile.
Final Score: Kobb's Khorne 3 - 1 Featherhawks
Final Thoughts: Nuffle was not with the Featherhawks tonight. His HMC only got 1 reroll from me total, he had some bad pickup rolls... the only real saving grace was that his Amazons held up impressively well, taking only one injury all match. Having NATAB get knocked out early was good for me, in a sense, as it forced me to get some other players SPP who I too often ignore.
