Rotter doubles

Post by swilhelm73 »

My nurgle team:

http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.We ... lang=en-US

is playing its first playoff match against an Orcs team that is about the same TV;

http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.We ... lang=en-US

One of my rotters (#13) earned his first skill in my last match and rolled a doubles. Note that one of my other rotters already has guard.

Guard is a great skill - I currently have 4 NWs, 1 BoN, and a Rotter with it for a total of 6. My opponent has 8 - 4 BZ, 2 BoB, 1 Th, and the Troll.

The problem is that if I take guard this likely makes the player a bench player on Defense. With 4 NWs, 4 Pests, a BoN and a kick/Dp Rotter this isn't a spot for 2 guard Rotters...and I'm not so sure I want to put a guard Rotter on the D line anyway without block - note my opponent has *3* MB/PO players!

Since I only have the one DP, a second might be nice as well. Especially with 3 PO players. That way I could play this guy as my DP on offense, and the Kick/DP guys as my DP on defense. But that does mean I am wasting the double.

Also I have no wrestle on my team currently, which is a nice skill to have some of...

Thoughts?

There is no such thing as too much guard. Your assumption on D is that you will have all those other players available, which might not be the case given the 3 pombers.

Guard. It will mark him for death straight away but will be gold until then.

A wise player I believe (Joe) said the correct amount of guard is one more than your opponent. Generally I would say wrestle on a rotter but if its a key match then take the guard. He wont live long I doubt....
