My daughter and I pulled out the Blood Bowl board and played
another exhibition match between the Orks and Humans from the Boxset. This time, we gave each team two re-rolls and
decided to use the Ork side of the board.
Last time, she bested me by a TD.
I took the Nobles again and she took the Orks. We also have a Khemri, Skaven, and Chaos team
for out games, but decide to go with the box again. Sadly, I didn’t document this game as closely
as the last one, but I have enough of the flavor below.

Lord Summervale: Now, our CabalVision VI coverage of Blood
Bowl post-NAF takes us to the Deep North League- Southern Regional Conference match-up. This was exhibition play between the Skulsmash
Reverz and the Nottingham Nobles. This
time, the action took place at the beloved Freeboota Field, home of the Skulsmash
Reeverz.
The Nottingham Nobles started with the ball, but deep
penetration by Skullsmash Reeverz Blitzer Ruck-Ruck forced the Nobles to
scramble deep in their own territory.
However, the first line Thrower Rick Priestley managed to dump it off to
their catcher Gav Thorpe to push out of Nobles territory.
Mad Johan: It was a pretty gutsy move by Priestley to dump
the ball to a catcher on his side of the field, but it relieved the pressure
and potential quick score by the Reeverz.
Lord Summervale: However, things devolved quickly as the Ork
defense smashed the Nobles line and kept the ball around mid-field through the
first half. The Reeverz line play was
punishing as multiple Nobles players were knocked out of the game. At one point, in the first half they had more
men in the Dug-out than on the field!
Mad Johan: The Nobles kicked it to the Reeverz to start the
second half, and things did not get much better for the Nobles. They started without a full team on the
field.
Lord Summervale: The orks just kept up the relentless
pounding, and soon the Nobles were down to only 5 players on the pitch. Despite some desperate plays and passes, the
Nobles just could not get any offense going.
Mad Johan: They did manage to shell out some payback, but
not nearly enough against those heavily armored Ork lineman.
Lord Summervale: The Skulsmash Reever offense just wore
downt he Nobles to so few players that the back-up Thrower Runthugga was able
to walk the ball into the end zone late in the second half.
Lord Summervale: In the last two meetings of these teams, the Reeverz have
managed to come away victorious in their last two exhibition matches. The Orks look like they might have a decent
team in the conference. I am sure the
other teams in the League are watching this exhibition matches very carefully before
this year’s season kicks-off for real.
Now, let’s go take a closer looker at the Deep North League’s
Northern Conference, there we see…..
