Click to zoom.

Summary

In this semifinal match of the Prestige Invitational (Old World Football Tournament League) between Norse's Carrion Regardless and Mardaed's Orkington Red Shirts, Norse has been holding a clinic on how to use the Undead race.  His repeated fouling and excellent mummy positioning has repeatedly stymied the Red Shirts' scoring efforts.  Now with 1 turn left and nothing to lose, the orcs are desperately trying to pull off the tie.  You're the Red Shirts' coach.  What do you do?

Objective

Last turn.  Score the TD!  What's the least amount of 1d rolls you should use?

Rules

• You must do it in 1 turn.
• Assume that all 1d blocks and 2d (your favor) blocks will result in pushes.  All 2d blocks in opponent's favor will result as skulls.
• Ensure every 1d non-block action attempt is at most 3+ risk (i.e. passes, catches, hand-offs, dodges, all should be 2+ or 3+ for success).  Assume successful rolls.

Skip's Answer

I was at this game!  Mardaed had kicked himself for using his team reroll in the last turn.  He positioned the goblin directly to the left of the ball carrier and orc blitzer #1 directly to the right.  After throwing a block with  the Black Orc #6, Mardaed blitzed zombie #10 with Black Orc #8 chain-pushing the ball carrier to the top right corner.  The ball carrier dodged out and stepped into the end-zone where he failed his GFI!  This all required a 3+ dodge out with dodge RR skill, 3 GFI's, 1 3+ dodge, and 2 2D blocks.
