i will go for a new WD because a WD with -AG is not a WD (because of the leap skill). And after a second receiver or a RR.

IMO treeman is not your priority.

New War Dancer. -AG kills those blokes and with only 2 you can't afford make weights.

After that I'd start looking at buying another player and more TRR. 4 is plenty for an Elven team.

WarDancer. You need them on the field at full strength to be truely competitive.

Here is my take on your priorities:

New War Dancer - Backbone of the team
Catcher - Start with Catch, Dodge can score almost at will
Treemen - Keep the other team's linemen busy
Reroll - Most of your rerolls are built in on the team(pass, catch, dodge)

Buy a new wardancer. ag 3 on a wardancer is pointless.

i'd buy a new WD first, then a tree, then more catchers.

There might be one exception: Should you face an extremely violent team which you cannot beat anyhow as your next opponent you could sacrifice that WD at the line (thereby protecting other players of your team) and wait until it's save to employ a new WD.

Then, if your roster still contains 10+ players, at least 1 (better 2) additional RRs.

Trees can absorb incredibly much damage. Therefore, you might seriously consider to acquire a tree, if you have problems with regard to casualities inflicted against you. Otherwise get an additional catcher!

* I would also go for a new WarDancer all the way. Was the -AG an age?.
* Next I would go for an other catcher, then a RR. If you feel 3 is too few, go for an other one. With 2 Catchers you can score pretty easy.
* After that RR, I would consider a treeman if you feel you get to many cas against. He really does help on lowering that.
* If not a treeman, I would think about a two new catchers, one of them would replace one lineman with Nig, and the last thrower would replace that last lineman with Nig. You will probably have more ppl with niggling at this stage tho.

I would go for another Lineman...

Why? Becuase I doesn't like Treemen (means you have to stand and fight) and you can use your Wardancer as a sacrificial guy, he's damn hard to knock down so he can be used to hold off any opponents.

new wardancer of course!

I would fire the WD only if he fails to get killed absorbing blows from big guys and mummies; i.e. I would make him a sacrifical guy. After reaching 16 players I would fire him anyway though. My MA-1 DE blitzer who was given this task has suffered from a serious streak of invulnerability ever since! However, having 4 of those blitzers makes this tactic a little more viable than with your 2 WD, I'm afraid.

YES

yesterday i play another game ( rookie undead) and one of the NI line elf was NI again
the -1 ma line elf now got -2 ma and doubles (he get the MVP)

i don´t know what skill give to the MA 5 line (guard or leader)

for my next match i have 11 players ( 2 miss )so if i replace the WD i don´t have any reserve

i think i have to buy the treeman (stop hit me please)

my next game is against human with non-block ogre and some blitzers with guard

and m. blow

my only catcher gets block (Yes ¡¡)

thanks for the replies

I'd go guard, definitely.

If that won't delay the acquisition of a new Wardancer too long it might be worth a consideration to do just that.

my next game is against human with non-block ogre and some blitzers with guard and m. blow

Put Tree, AG 3 Wardancer and NI-Linedudes at the LOS.

I would choose leader for that MA 5 lineman. After all, leader is a skill of temporary use only. After you have 4, 5 TRRs, you will fire that guy eventually. So, use leader on some one you will get rid of anyways. And thats your slow lineman.

As the genereal vote said, get a new wardancer. Trees might be useful AFTER you have acquired a substantial number of players, so when he doesn't show for first half you still have reserves.
