So, I played OSK. Gonna be a quick write-up, since I'm going to bed and he's, hrhrm, "not available for questioning."
For anyone interested, the replay is
here.
OSK wins the coin-toss and let's me recieve. It should be said that I'm down a lot of players, so I have a mercenary on the pitch and no substitutes. On the bright side I got some inducement money for which I bought a re-roll and a wizard. The ball goes off field, and I hand it to Prosper. I cage up, some pushing and some fightan' start.
I knock out one of OSK's elves, he knock's one of mine out. Then he knocks out another one, and injure two. I use my apothecary on the last one.
Slowly but steadily my team, not very well leveled compared to OSK's, eats the grass. He knocks down Prosper, the ball goes to my blitzer instead. He knocks down that blitzer, picks up the ball, and goes for the end-zone.
BUT! I yet have an ace up my sleave. I click the wizard-button, select the lightning bolt, and HUZZAH: ...I roll a 1. Nothing happens.
It's 1-0 for the high elves.
Next turn starts with 8 Amazons vs. 11 high elves. OSK injures another Amazon, KO's another, and decides to cage up. Though this is typically not a viable strategy for high elves, my 6 remaining Amazons are powerless to stop them. One of the high elves has gotten Tackle, and wherever that motherfucker goes, Amazons fall like flies.
In the end, 5 Amazons are injured, 2 are KO'ed and one is sent off for fouling. That leaves, yes, 3 lonesome Amazons on the pitch, as OSK scores his second touchdown.
2-0 for OSK.
OSK is gracious enough to kick the ball within range of my throwers on the last turn. I pick it up by using a re-roll, clear the pass, and fumble the catch.
All in all a good game for those watchin' (lots of injuries and doom), a good game for OSK, but a horrible game for me. I didn't really feel I made obvious mistakes, but OSK played well, and combined with some good takedowns he took the game clean.
Final result is 2-0 for OSK.
