That was an excellent pushback. I started getting worried the more elves he piled on near the sideline. Counterintuitive, but it doesn't always help to surround people.
And your game could have gone either way as well. Mine, well, I'd like to say I was fortunate, but I wasn't.

The match started with my (actually, not mine, since I was at my parents-in-law house, but whatever) internet connection going testicles up and failing completely during the kick-off. Thanks, Neostrada. 40 minutes later, when it decided to start working again, Hoverdog and I could finally start the match for real.
Kick-off:
Hoverdog wins the toss and decides to receive. I put three Skeletons on the LoS, with a line of Tomb Guardians two squares behind, Blitz-Ras on wings and Thro-Ras as deep defence. My opponent decides to put most of his players on the LoS, with only three Pestigors placed further back, including the team's star, Peter Molyneux.
The event is a Blitz!, during which I misread the current ball location as the supposed landing square and decide to fight for ground. I move all four Tomb Guardians to reinforce the LoS, but Hoverdog's clever positioning does not have any obvious opening, so I decide to try a 1D Blitz with Chuck Norris (BR). Nuffle punishes this insolence with a skull, so I achieve the rare art of using up a re-roll before even starting the actual match (it's still turn #0 for both of us).
First half:
Whole first half develops into one huge brawl on the LoS, with The Decliners trying to punch a way through the middle and make a corridor for the ball carrying Peter Molyneux to run through. With two Nurgle Warriors crowd surfed (sadly, with no permanent damage done)and Chris Priestly the Beast of Nurgle going really stupid at key moments, the strength difference soon becomes apparent and the cage gets slowly torn apart by a combined effort of Tomb Guardians wand other animated bones. Their impressive but increasingly desperated defence takes anoter serious blow when Mike Laidlaw the Pestigor gets his nerve pinched (regeneration failure, MNG). Soon the ball carrier gets directly surrounded by four Tomb Guardians and one Blitz-Ra, which could serve the new dictionary definition of 'being fucked up'. Unable to get away, he loses the ball on turn #6, along with the will and ability to continue playing in this shitty match (Badly Hurt, Regeneration failing again). Legends Outworn manage to recover the ball, but don't have enough time or ability to get it to the opponent's endzone. An 'it would be cool if this worked' half-a-pitch pass is tried, but Disturbing Presence makes sure it doesn't work. JeanClaude van Damme the Blitz-Ra gets Badly Hurt, but he regenerates and is ready to come for the second part of the game.
0-0 at half-time
Kick-off:
Both crowd surfed Nurgle Warriors come back and Hoverdog again loads the LoS with his ST3 players supported by Chris the Priestly Beast, with Nurgle Warriors a little behind as a second line of defence. I decide to fight for ground there and do a similar thing, putting one Tomb Guardian on the LoS, but leaving three behind for cage duty.
The event is a quick snap, but what's more important, the ball lands off-field. I decide to give it to Chuck Norris the Blitz-Ra, which turns out to be a mistake in the long run (should have given it to a Tomb Guardian, of course).
Second half:
Legends Outworn decide to cage through the left-center, because that's the Beast-of-Nurgle-free part of the pitch. Hoverdog starts harrassing one cage side of the cage with all his Nurgle Warriors kept tightly together giving me a choice of fighting for every square of the ground or leaving the strongest part of the cage behind to move faster. Jackie Chan (Ske) gets Badly Hurt on a failed dodge (Regeneration failure), but generally my players withstand the pressure much better than I do. In an influx of panic on turn #12 I run the ball carrier towards the endzone, unprotected. Next turn, Bobby Kotick (Pes) makes a dodge and two GFIs and knocks the ball out of Chuck Norris' hands, to outside the pitch. Fans throw it back in on the LoS, next to Pete Hines the Nurgle Warrior and Chris Priestly the Beast of Nurgle.
As most of Legends Outworn at this point are near in the middle of The Decliners half, tied up by their opponents, their coach realises that he's not going to win this match. As for not losing it, Sylvester Stallone the Tomb Guardian and Jet Li the Skeleton are the ones who must prevent The Decliners from achieving a touchdown. There's a brief brawl for the ball, with Chris Priestly knocked down and not getting up for the rest of the game due to being Really Stupid. Jet Li manages to pick up the ball (using up team's last re-roll) and run forward a bit, but soon loses it to a blitz by Jennfer Hepler the Pestigor (starting to see a pattern here). Jennifer gets crowd-surfed next turn, with ball leaving the field again and coming back on Legends' side of the pitch, never to be picked up again (not because of lack of trying, though).
Final score: 0-0 and one pinched nerve
Summary:
I started the game at an advantage, both due to better positioning and luckier rolls, not for a moment really being threatened by to concede a TD. Hoverdog manned up for the second half, making no mistakes himself while mercilessly exploiting all of mine. All in all, it was a really even match that would have benefitted from a couple of touchdowns (as would both teams).
The Decliners did not cause any deaths this time, which is, I suppose, a .
Interesting side note: first TZ on Peter Molyneux (Decliners' ball carrier) was put after Something Awesome! button was pushed.
Both true. The TD was great, but the sweltering heat did not treat both teams equally. Although I think it was karma biting You back, Mantiis, for all that turn #16 fouling (which you did again, btw).

A match which was really interesting at the end, mostly because my inept handling of the ball, I guess! Filled with blood! (Mostly sucked out from Thralls by the Vampires, though.) Fumbled passes from Throwers to Catchers! A perfect pass from one undead player to another! A death which was undone by some evil vampiric powers!
...displays the sportsmanship and honour that's to be expected of a Dwarf player and spends his final turn gang-fouling Grotsnik’s Kroxigor, managing to injure him into missing the next match.
might i suggest setting root as the winner of his game and advancing the week? that way you would have the week to get mangoose set up and the rest of us could continue the carnage...
