Guard + (Stand Firm or Sidestep)?
This is a preemptive question, but odds are I will be faced with this question.
I have a lizard team. Four or my saurus have Guard (and no other skill). Now, if I get a double on a skill roll for one of them, should I go for sidestep or stand firm? So he can keep in the way and continue giving assists when he is pushed.
I find this tactic of guard instead of block very good. Opponents often find it difficult to even achieve a 1dice block, and a skink between 2 saurus with guard can block with 2 dice.
And 2dice without block is better than 1 dice with block.
I like my lizard team!

In general SF and SS are fairly even in terms of push backs (SS is marginally better).
However Stand Firm because when you get Break Tackle its a lot more useful.
Also SF really pays off on Guards because when you've got 3 SF Guard S4 boys on the LOS it really hurts just about any team.

Then have a look at my Dinosaur Dorkheads... I managed to get my Krox blodge, and one of the AG2 sauruses have blodge & guard! They're great fun to play.lionwarrior wrote:I use doubles on saurii for dodge... but then again, i always take block before guard... if you're lucky enough to roll a double, that str4 + blodge makes a nasty saurus!
