.... In CRP/Icepelt there are only three players with Bombardier. The goblin Bombardier, Bomber Dribblesnot, and Boomer Eziasson.

Huh, only 3.

Here’s a teaser for those of you (most!) who have been playing longer than me:

A goblin team can potentially throw five bombs in a turn. How?

Caveat: You’ll need to be up on the more recent Games Workshop rules to get ‘em all.

A goblin team can throw infinite bombs in one turn, as long as they're caught/intercepted and thrown back and forth!

In the entire CRP there is only one player with guard.

And on top of that you can then throw an actual goblin at someone :)

Goblin Artillery Team :)

Sadly you can't throw the Bombardier (they don't have Right Stuff) ...

That brings up an interesting rules question.
CRP wrote:...except that the player may not move or stand up before throwing it (he needs time to light the fuse!)
Does this mean he may not take a move action or does it mean that you can't move the model on the turn before throwing the bomb? Usually when the rules mean a move action, it's capitalized. Like in the Ball & Chain description:
CRP wrote:Players armed with a Ball & Chain may only take Move Actions

You can throw Bomber Dribblesnot and, as long as he lands, he can then take his action to throw a bomb. A very risky way to increase range of bombs :)

Because throwing bombs with Loner Star Players is usually so safe?
(Always hilarious when some degenerate bomber tosses explosives into the stands. That's what fans pay money to see!)
