If you cannot stall out for an 8 turn drive to score with dwarves then you need to go and play canasta with your dad..if you can find him.

Anyway, it's a moot point, I can tell you now that I'm not giving Guard to any rookie player on any roster; it is a massive force multiplier and blows game balance apart.

hmmm...what about the pay-to-test Human Nobility team? :orc:

As someone that only recently returned to the digital format of this game, I have to say that I prefer the Blood Bowl 2 version more for 2 reasons.

It's annoying having 0-4 positional that I rarely want or need more than 1 of. Why give me the possibility of so many when it's a subpar option. It feels like a trap. I know that Orcs have 0-4 goblins, but they both cheap, and have an obviously specific use case (as ammunition for trolls).

The other is that I would prefer to make humans as straightforward as the orcs clearly are since they the starting kit for many new players. I realize that Humans get much better in skilled hands, but I would love to see them easy to play for newer players since that is what they are marketed as.

Armor 8 makes the Human Catcher a bit more forgiving when rookies make mistakes, which they will when confronted with Orcs for the first few games.

Most interesting game I ever played against an Orc team the guy had 4 blitzers 4 goblins a Troll a thrower and a few linemen. Those goblins were evil. Like sand at the beach they got EVERYWHERE.

Oh and lego in bloodbowl NO! :evil:

But have you seen some of the fantasticImage Lego Sets?

Plus, you can use it to make the board, and the stadium and it's really easy to move the ball around from one player to another.

I kid though. I stick to the digital format since there isn't much interest in blood bowl where I live.
