Game Two:

The Girder Grinder Guard strikes gets revenge!


The Ralarat bounces away from the fray for 2 points.



Two mighty Guards clash!


A Girder Grinder Striker keeps the score level.



Four dice on 4+ aren't enough to dash that last hex, 
and the ball slips away.



 Continuing the rotten Ralarat luck, this striker fails to end the games.
A Sorak throws the ball...

...but the recipient wasn't ready and fails to catch the ball.....

...and was punished for his sins!



On the rush eleven, the Ralarats are forgiven as some epic passing is converted to a game winning four point strike!

The game begins with a Martian Jack toasting a poor Zee with his ray gun, and the red didn't even notice! Unfortunately, the Martian Striker misses the newly opened up Strike hex.

The Cheatyfacers advance upon the Martians.




The pitch begins to clear of Martians thanks to their eager use of Ray guns and surprisingly hard hitting monkeys.

I'm sure there were more Martians here a second ago?
