Major Troll TTM questions

Post by zephard »

Ok, never had this many questions so I must be thinking for once.

Got me a Troll doing the throwing with Gobbos who do not have the ball.

I fail the "Always Hungry" roll.
1. Troll eats Gobbo. No turnover?
2. Troll doesn't eat Gobbo, but gobbo does not land. Turnover?

3. Gobbo is thrown, doesn't land on anyone, but crashes. Turnover?
4. Gobbo is thrown, hits a player (either team), can gobbo land or is it always a "crash"?
5. Gobbo lands in Crowd from inaccurate throw. Turnover?
6. Gobbo lands in crowd after bouncing off a player. Turnover?

I know if Gobbo hits one of my own team mates then its a turnover.

Ok, have I missed a thing that could happen?

How'd you get a troll promoted all the way to Major? He's stupid! REALLY stupid!

Quite funny.

Though these questions have started to arise in one game I am currently playing.

1. Troll eats Gobbo.
No turnover, unless the goblin had the ball
2. Troll doesn't eat Gobbo, but gobbo does not land. Turnover?
No turnover, unless the goblin had the ball
3. Gobbo is thrown, doesn't land on anyone, but crashes.
No turnover, unless the goblin had the ball
4. Gobbo is thrown, hits a player (either team), can gobbo land or is it always a "crash"?
The goblin in this situation is always knocked over in square he ends up in and must make an AV roll.
5. Gobbo lands in Crowd from inaccurate throw.
No turnover, unless the goblin had the ball
6. Gobbo lands in crowd after bouncing off a player.
No turnover, unless the goblin had the ball (or the player was one of your own.)

Rule of thumb is, TTM can't be a turnover unless:
1. The player being thrown was carrying the ball.
2. The thrown player scatters ontop of one of his team mates.

Thanks fen. Thats exactly what all I needed to know. Now I know that I haven't made a second error in the game. First error was thinking that hitting my own player didn't cause a turnover.

I understand all the ones with the ball meant turnover, just didn't know if Gobbo didn't have ball, if that was a turn over.

You have just made me like my team even better. :D :smoking:

Sorry for necroposting, but wont it be a turnover when you roll for AV for the goblin? Knocked down=turnover?
Thx.

Nope - because the Right Stuff rules explicitly states that if a crashing gobbo does not have the ball it is not a turnover.
