Leaves in the Wind II Vs The Monstrous Regiment

In the event that I've now played a few games and don't quite have the same level of Rememberance I'll just do the highlights. This was an online game Vs another guy who was fairly new as well.

Summary at the end for those who don't want to read the massive wall. Sorry I got carried away.
------------------------------------

"Well Jim, here we are again at Mittendorf Madness".
"Certainly are Max, up today we have Leaves in the Wind II playing off against The Monstrous Regiment".
"That's right, after the tragic events of the first match of Leaves in the Wind the successors to their name came out really strong in the first game. So strong they scared the Skaven right off the pitch before half time."
"Yes they did, an early hit with the fans, it seems to just be a lucky roll of the dice on that first one, the next three games were all downhill, a string of minor casualties, bad wind and I swear in one game, the elves were all drunk. No other way to account for the fact they didn't make a successful dodge the entire match."
"You have the right of it, here's hoping the their luck's changing, they certainly need it if they want to keep their fan base. Although from the look of the Orcs on the other side of the pitch... Well I just hope some elves live to see the team name carry on."

The fans cheer as the two teams make their way onto the pitch. The ferocious hulking Orcs and the casual, carefree elves. The ref tosses the coin, the Elves win and choose to recieve.

"The kick is up! It lands on the back half of the pitch and the Elves send #7 down to pick it up, a quick pass to the catcher and one of the 'dancers blitz's the only orc in the way.. Oh my god did you see that hit! If that orc was any softer he'd be eating a lot more than grass that's for sure..."
"You have that right Jim"
"Two other lineman head on over and quickly escort the catcher and the ball halfway down the pitch, those elves certainly know how to move when they need to, that's a nice little play isn't Max?"
"Certainly is, a few more knocks on the front line from the Elves, but nothing else of note from their side"
"WOW! Did you see the hit from the Orc? They're striking back with a vengeance, that's one Elf who won't be back on the pitch this game. One minute in and already this promises to be a brutal match."
"Yes it's certainly going to be bloody from the looks of things, but while the orcs stood around hooting and cheering at the fallen Elf, the elves catcher has ducked in for a touchdown. Good to see they seem to be back on the game, although I see a little fear on a few faces".
"That fear is definately there, that brutal hit so early in the game has certainly got a couple of them worried."

"The Elves kick off, a short drop just past the half line, the Orcs ignore the ball for a second to get a bit more blood in and OHMYGOD JIM JIM Did you see that Jim?"
"Yes I did Max, I'll wager that's one orc who's feeling mightily embarrassed at the moment, or at least he will when he comes too. That orc went to headbutt an Elf on the middle line, misjudged and stunned them both."
"Look at that Max, the elves have pounced on the orcs error and ducked across the half line to nab the ball that's just sitting there, and streaked off again for another touchdown it looks like"

"Ooh those Orcs look fercious, a quarter of the way through the match and they are already two touchdowns down. It looks like Leaves in the Wind II seem to have appeased whatever Gods they offended".
"Certainly does Max, here they go, the kick is up, oh dear it's gone wide and there's a mob in the stands as the crowd fights for the ball."
"The ref brings on a new one and hands it over to the down near the end and the orcs upon up on the elves"
"Wooow! Two knockout's and what looks like a twisted ankle, that's one player not coming back, looking at the attrition rate the elves really need to score a couple more touchdowns before there's none of them left to play!"
"Well Jim they seem to have heard you, look at that 'dancer go! Streaking down the pitch after the ball carrier. Oo that's one orc who's regretting he had the ball. A few more elves head down the pitch to support and the orcs take off after them."
"Seems to be a bit of a bruhaha happening on the center line as well, the Big Tree the elves have is flat on his back again, you know what they say about the bigger they are?"
"Certainly do!"
"Some fumbling around the ball, deep in the orcs end zone, oh look an orcs come up with the ball, he passes! and INTERCEPTION! Crazy, that elf just lazily reached up and grabbed the ball!"
"A quick pass back down to the Orcs end, and a quick dash and leap and TOUCHDOWN!"
"3-0 to the elves with 4 minutes left in the half"
"The elves seem to be racking up a quick total, but I hope it's enough looking at those furious orcs".
"They kick off again, there's a bit of a fight around the center half and.... wait for it! yes there's the whistle signalling the end of the half".

-------------------------

"Leaves in the Wind II is ahead 3-0 coming into this crucial second half."
"They certainly are, but let's not forget they're fighting a war of attrition on the pitch today."
"You're certainly right, it looks like they'll have to do their best just to hold off the orcs as long as possible. But starting the second half with only eight players on the pitch to the orcs eleven does not bode well."
"That it does not Max, there is definate boding and it is definately not good for the Elves"
"Here we go, the kick is up! And Wham! The orcs come out bashing, one unconscious Elf and one badly hurt, thirty seconds into the second half, seems the orc had a good pep talk during the half time break."
"Heh heh
break is right Max. They seem intent on breaking the elves today."
"Oh it's dirty on the pitch, fights breaking out all over and the crowd is going wild!"
"They are loving it that's for sure. Oh check it out, looks like there's an elf chick over there selling Big Moot sandwhiches, I'm off to get one."
"I didn't think you liked Big Moot sandwhiches Jim?"
"I don't. But I do like elf women."
"Well while Jim is off trying to get a touchdown of his own the orcs have stepped it up a notch. Three more elves are face down on the pitch and they have five orcs taking the ball down to the line. The elves however are not giving up, the catcher a lineman and a wardancer have made a break for the carrier and oh! oh! oh no! what a blow for the elves, the lineman blitzed the carrier and ran straight into the orc fist. What a show stopper!"
"Not to mention Max, that the Wardancer got surrounded by orcs and pummeled into the ground."
"That's true, how was your sandwhich? Get the tuna?"
"Oh haha Max, haha. Look look! What a play! The wardancer has jumped up, leaped over an orc and bashed the ball carrier right to the ground, carrying on she's grabbed the ball and tried to duck in behind her two teammates and WHAM! Fell face first on the ground, what a blow, they almost had recovery."
"That's true, but now the orcs have the ball and TOUCHHHDOWN!"
"3-1 to the elves!"
"The orcs are certainly looking ferocious, that's a big lead they've got to catch though"
"Ohhh did you see that hit, true to form the Orcs look like they are going to catch up the traditional way, if there's no opponents left, there's no one to stop them scoring a touchdown."
"They've kicked off, the elves have sent a man.."
"Elf Jim"
.. Elf down to pick up the ball and oh, slippery fingers it seems, the Orcs have pounced on the slip, moving into position all around the few remaining elves, knocking a few to the pitch in the meantime."
"The Elf lineman is desperate, he picks up the ball - successfully this time and goes the long pass to a wardancer down the far end and it's up and .. OOOOOO a orc has leapt up and nabbed the ball, that's crazy have you ever seen anything like it Jim?"
"Certainly haven't Max, talk about a comeback by the orcs."
"While everyone was watching the ball it looks like a group of orcs took the opportunity to put the boot, that's another elf off the pitch."
"Five elves left and the orcs start making their way down the pitch with the ball. It does not look good."
"I think this is a bit inevitable Jim certainly looks like the orcs will score on this drive."
"You have the right of it, but that's not stopping them dishing out some more pain to the few elves left. No more casualties this drive but a lot of black eyes and stunned elves lying around and SCOORRRREEEEE!"
"That's 3-2 to the orcs, four minutes left to play and five elves to play defence."
"Based on the time I think the elves will eek out a win here, but the moral victory is definately going to go to the orcs."
"The ball is up! A lineman grabs it and makes a quick pass, I don't think the elves can make it down to their end zone, but they are gamely making an effort."
"Would you look at those orcs Max? They look enraged that they aren't going to be able to pull out a win on this one."
"OW! Did you see that! I heard his neck snap from here, that's one orc who's not a happy chappy. He's certainly not going to be as spry as he used to be that's for sure."
"Oh and I just got word from our man on the side - Apparently the elves apothecary says he's a deader for sure, but they seem to be keeping him away from the apothecary at the moment after that, can't say I OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE THAT DOWN AND OUT OH WHAT A HIT, THE ORC BRUTALISED HIM."
"Yes what a magnificent hit, the ref is over and yes! Dead at the scene, just as the whistle blows to finish the match."
"I think that's an important lesson to all teams playing against The Monstrous Regiment, they don't take defeat lightly, that's the most brutal last minutes of a match I've seen in a long time."
"It certainly is, I might just pop off and see if I can get a shower room interview with those wardancers, mmhmmm..."
"Good luck Jim, good luck."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TL;DR
Wood Elves vs Orcs
3-2
7 Casualties on the wood elf side - 1 dead, 1 broken neck (-1AG) both of those (dead+broken neck) on the orcs last turn., the rest just badly hurt, I count myself lucky really. Especially since the deader was a str 2 line (he'd been hurt before) that I wanted to kill off.
1 Casualty on the orc side.

I think the orcs definately had the moral win. But I ended up with only 1 guy with a major drama (not counting the dead guy) so I'm feeling lucky.

Also my catcher got a skillup and got + 1 MA for 10 move which is hot.
