Summary

This is a rendition of a game played on FUMBBL.  Mardaed was coaching a high elf team and was in awe of the orc offensive tactics.  The orc coach was able to slice through the standard 2 by 2 defense with precision blocks and excellent positioning.  After a few turns, the orcs had the elves entrapped.  Inspired by this, Mardaed called his practice squads to recreate the scenario.

The orcs were putting the high elves on their heels.  They were forcing the high elves to dodge out and regroup.  Mardaed, however, suffered the bane of all elf coaches...  Lineman #9, the first player to take an action,  suffered a 1-1 dodge and fell crumpled to the ground ending the turn!  Now you are the orc coach.  Your mouth is salivating for the carnage that will ensue.  You are eyeing the crowd push opportunity with High Elf Blitzer #5.  But you are feeling like making a statement.  You are going to push 2 players off the pitch!

Objective

Push 2 players off the pitch.

Rules

• You must do it in 1 turn.
• Assume that all 2d (your favor) blocks will result in pushes.  All 1d blocks and 2d blocks in opponent's favor will result as skulls.
• Assume Really Stupid (2+) succeeds, (4+) fails.
• Assume all other 1d6 action rolls fail.
• Don't sacrifice ball security!  You cannot have an easy blitz to your ball carrier by the High Elf team at the end of your turn.  If any blitz is possible, a high elf player who chooses to blitz your ball carrier must require at the least multiple 3+ dodges to reach the ball carrier, preferably a 2d block your favor.
• Assume all units are rookies

Skip's Answer

1. Position Blitzer 12 so he is adjacent to Blitzer 11, Blitzer 4, and Black Orc 10
2. Throw a block with Lineman 7 at High Elf Blitzer 6 and chain push the prone High Elf towards Black Orc 10 pushing him so he marks High Elf Catcher 4
3. Block High Elf Catcher 4 and push him towards the sideline so he is diagonal to High Elf Blitzer 5.  DO NOT FOLLOW UP.
4. Block High Elf Blitzer 5 with Blitzer 11 and push towards the sideline.  Follow up.
5. Move Thrower 5 and mark High Elf Blitzer 5
6. Block High Elf Blitzer 5 with Blitzer 13 to push him off the pitch!
7. Block High Elf Blitzer 6 with the Troll and push him so that Blitzer 4 is no longer marked.
8. Take a Blitz action with Blitzer 4 and push High Elf Catcher 4 off the pitch!
9. For ball security make sure your flank is not vulnerable to attack.  Position Black Orc 2 and Block Orc 3 so the high elves can't make any easy dodges to blitz your ball carrier.  Throw a 2D block with Black Orc 1. (You have to mark High Elf Lineman 8 or High Elf Lineman 10 with the two Black Orcs you were moving.

Extra solution found by brother: If you move up with Black Orc 10 then make sure to follow up with Blitzer 13! Then when you blitz with Blitzer 4, make sure to attack diagonally so that he gets pushed out by Blitzer 13 position.
