Final Score: Kobb's Khorne 2 - 1 The Cthulian Crushers
Thoughts: RNG and I were not friends in the first half, and I was lucky that the positional game kept me only down a single TD. lordcooper's smushing up his line along the sideline was one of the few things that kept me in the first half, as it allowed me to get several of them out of the rest of the half. The second half was more of what I think of as the Chaos powergame... they can pass to gain field position, and are difficult to knock over once they have a defense set up.
