It was an okay game. I remember playing someone who was doing a bunch of
demo
games at a store. He took what he thought was a hot team. I had played
it
perhaps twice. I ended up whipping him with a Dwarf team that formed a
phalanx
around the ball carrier. It seemed pretty hard to beat.

I thought _Space Hulk_ was a better game, though both had flaws. 

To pull this into something a little bit more on topic, I bought the Pig
Ticklers rules from GZG (originally from Eureka), and painted up the
unicycle
lancers, ref, stokers, and steam pig. Our group had a good time with it.
This
game represents a military sport in a Victorian steampunk universe.
British
lancers on unicycles try to stick it to a steam driven pig, while
avoiding
native "stokers" throwing hot coals! 

I'm planning to tweak it, as I found the tables had too many "nothing
really
happens" results. It's fun, though, and eminently tweakable. I'm trying
to
figue out how to use Penny Farthing riders in the same game, as an
expansion...
