I just picked up Agility 4 on a linewoman with Zons. Block next and she'll be my prime ball carrier

Hi guys,

Just lost my first game of the season as Dark Elves (To a norse team 2 -1)

My Team has 7 Lineman 3 Blitzers and 1 Witch Elf.

one of my blitzers rolled a 6-4.
I'm probably going to go with the +1MA but what do you guys reckon?

Regards
Grogmir

ST just cant be passed up, MA & AG i guess depends on the current spread in your team (e.g. +AG on a skeleton could open options)

I had a Side Step + Sprint + Sure Feet
Wood Elf catcher roll 6,6 for his 4th skill. I took Nerves of Steel an don't regret it.

I would turn down 6,6 on a Tree Man for Block, and for Jump up, and possbily even for Pro. So unless he rolled 4 sets of doubles, I don't think I'll be taking a st boost there.

A Block+Jump Up tree is is WAY good!

Jump up is made to suck on trees and mummys.

That is what I heard.

But you know what ?

Jump allows a tree to stand without rolling. I think that is important.
Trees on my Wood Elf team are supposed to stand around, draw attention to themselves and keep elves from getting hit and dying. They can't do that while laying on the pitch

I played a long time with trees getting knocked down (which resets the take root) and never passing the roll to get up. Now, the tree stands at will. And if you don't mark him, he's going to walk somewhere and tie some-one up if they are in range, or move towards the play if they are not.

The tree can even use the blitz to block and stand without rolling, though I normally have a WarDancer who wants to blitz. I could care less about blocking the guy next to me from prone. Wood Elves (trees included ) don't belong in blocking wars.

Mummy-s don't roll to stand, so jump up is more wasted on them.


and feel free to ignore every word I just said.

Its a lot worse yes - but only for block actions. When moving or blitzing its the same as it always was. So still a good choice for trees or PO mummies.

These are not the arguments you are looking for.
