Starting to Thunder...

The Gauntlet Games Lincoln Ice Bowl League is heading into it's 6th week of play. This winter, I'm trying out a different team, Orcs, and to say that the season had a rocky start might be a touch of an understatement. However, after spending last week pounding the faces of some small goblins (rumors that they caused more casualties than us are greatly exaggerated) Da Thunder'n Waaaaaagh! rolled into the store last Tuesday to play last season's champion playing a new team, Dark Elves. Things looked initially grim, with the Dark Elves sprinting to an early 1-0 lead after only a few turns of the game. However, some long, well executed grinding as well as clutch play by team mascot/lead scorer Grek Unodos (a TD and a Casualty for the little bugger) led the Orcs to the playbook 2-1 victory that is typically their goal against agility teams.

Try outs have been initiated this week for a new thrower for the team (someone apparently whispered in their ear that ball handling might help with the scoring difficulties the team has struggled with) have helped prepare the team for this week's match with Skaven rat men. With any luck we can get a team photo at some point this week.
