Catastrophe! I
had this report all written up as we played th4e game, but then I
lost it do to being an idiot. Therefore, this match report will not
be as detailed as some of the other Blood Bowl matches I have
had. However, since it was the first use of my Dwarf team I figured
I might as well try to put in some of the highlights.

Lord
Summervale: Welcome to the half-time report! Cabalvision IV's
continuing coverage of the Deep North League continues as we take
look at the Southern Regional Conference action. It is still
pre-season as new teams enter the conference. Let's see how they
stack up!
Mad Johan: After
the loss of teams from last season due to contract disputes,
attrition, murder, and jail sentences there has been an influx of new
teams into the Southern Regional Conference.
Lord Summervale:
Indeed. The three remaining teams are the Forever Jackals from
Khemri, Skaven Da' Rat Packers, and fromt eh Chaos Wastes come the
Gridiron Gravediggers. However, this season they are going to be
joined by the expansion Nottingham Nobles human team, Ork Skulsmash
Reeverz, Skaven Cheeze-Ballerz, Dwarf Rock-N-Rollers, and the Chaos
Goat Herders.
Mad Johan: With
so many inexperienced rookies, the casualties should be record
setting this year!
Lord Summervale: The
Skulsmash Reeverz under their Kaptin Grimgrod Rotgut clashed with the
Dwarf Rock-N-Rollers earlier today. Here are the highlights of the
match.
Mad Johan: With
Dwarf teams the highlight reel is always short......
Lord Summervale:
…. um, yeah.... moving on. The first half saw the Orks kick the
Rock-N-Rollers into terrible field position. It took them half of
the first half just to get to mid-field. Sadly, the Skulsmash
Reeverz were there waiting for them. The Ork team smashed open the
Dwarf cage and forced the ball loose.
It
was a mad scrum, but eventually Kaptin Rotgut himself emerged with
the ball. A short pass up the middle found the blitzer Ruk-Ruk. He
hauled it in and that led to a score at the end of the first half.
Things looked bad for the Rock-N-Rollers as they were down by 1 and
kicking to the Orks.
Mad Johan: The
Dwarf team made good use of sideline pushes to eliminate a few Ork
players. The Slayers frenzy ability helped out.
Lord Summervale: In
the second half, the Dwarf team had to act fast....
Mad Johan:
…. which is really hard when you are a dwarf!
Lord Summervale: The
opening kick was short, and a missed block up front left the Ork line
open. A few dwarf blockers desperately trundle through and forced
the ball loose from back-up Ork thrower Runthugga.
This
also led to a scrum where possession went back and forth between the
two teams. The Orks tried to throw it down field, but the
Rock-N-Rollers were all over it and stuffed the receiver quickly.
Mad Johan: One
of the great moments of Blood Bowl is watching dwarf blockers try to
intercept a pass. Hilarious!
Lord Summervale: The
Rock-N-Rollers managed to push the ball down the field as their line
play began to tell on the Skulsmash Reeverz.
Mad Johan: This
game featured some eye-popping hits between players that left players
down across the board. I was shocked to see half of the Ork team
knocked-out and in the dug-out at one point!
Lord Summervale: It
was this punishment that allowed the Dwarf runner Harry Harrison
finally cross into the end zone to tie up the game. The fans at
Freeboota Field booed and hissed, but the refs let the score stand.
From
there, the Orks did not have enough time to complete a scoring drive
despite a successful pass down field. Time ran out.
Mad Johan: Since
the refs were hungry, they decided to call the game a tie and go grab
some grub. It was only pre-season. They were hangry so called the
game despite the jeers of the crowd.
Lord Summervale: We
will now return you to your regularly scheduled match after a word
from our Sponsors; Guillotine Razors- Maybe the best a human can get!
Thanks for tuning into Cabalvision IV. Nuffle be praised!
