when he has the ball and puts people around it, thats who, thats what.Around who? What Cage?
His defensive formation, sooner or later it will have someone out in a bad spot, exploit it.Again, 'his'? What gets weak...?
Try to integrate this into your play and you'll be giving them a hard time. If you need more advice, you can always come back. 
Ues people with Block at least, dodge as well if possible in the back of the defensive formation. The trick is to minimize blocks against u while making the ones they do use, to your advantage. If he/she moves enough people to make the 2 die blocks to the back of the cage, he/she is going the wrong way, making it harder to score.So how do you combine point a and point d?
Well, the trick is to choose, whick blocks are essential and which are not. Generally speaking, you should avoid as many blocks as you can. But in order to get to the ball, you have to blitz the ball carrier at some point (unless he is failing an action of his own, but we can't count on that). For these blitzes you best take your wardancers, they have the skill to do it (strip ball, tackle sure helps, once you've got them developed a bit). Just remember to only block the ballcarrier himself or someone, who let's you get a shot at the ball carrier if moved out of the way a bit.Orin wrote:So how do you combine point a and point d?
It may be a probelm, but it will be very rewarding. And with a MV of 7 and 2 GoForIts you can move up to nine squares, even with a lineman. Catchers are even faster, so you don't necessarily need them far away from the action, just make sure, you always have someone, who, once you freed the ball can take it and break away. You don't necessarily need to make the TD in that turn, often it is sufficient to just get far enough away, so they can't blitz you next turn.Orin wrote:The problem is, with the WoodElf Armour of only 7, it is hard to spare a lineman to hang around the opponents end-zone. I need every elf I got to tie up my opponent's players.
NoS is a good trait for your thrower, agreed. Thing is, it's a trait, so it is hard to obtain. BTW, I would always choose NoS over Strong Arm on an elven thrower. There has been a large discussion on whether NOS or strong arm would be better, and there have been many who said Strong Arm, but I still believe in NOS.Orin wrote:So point B would justify giving a thrower Nerves of Steel, wouldn't it? And then just hope he doesn't get beaten into a bloody pulp after having passed the ball to safety?
Decide for yourself. You haven't met my girlfriend, have you? Once she has the ball, she'll never let it go. She like a pitbull and I have to pry the ball from her cold dead fingers.Plus, maybe she will loosen her cage to assist the mummies, so you might get a shot at the ball carrier.
Actually, I haven't.Orin wrote:You haven't met my girlfriend, have you?
Is it worth it? Well, if she keeps her players so tightly packed, there is a way to blitz the ball carrier: I'll try to visualize, no laughing please.This is exactly the tactic I tried, and at least it works in the way that nobody gets to score, but she'll keep that cage intact!!
Hi girlfriend (does she have a name?)! Only seldomly I have seen a girlfriend of someone play BB ... or a girl at all, that is.my girlfriend reads the thread and says "HaHa"
Right, you can fill in the only sensible answer to this one yourself.Fronko wrote:Actually, I haven't.Orin wrote:You haven't met my girlfriend, have you?
Her name is Laura, of Lau for short. It's true that there don't seem that many girl coaches around. maybe it's the mindless on-pitch violence. girls,:roll:Hi girlfriend (does she have a name?)! Only seldomly I have seen a girlfriend of someone play BB ... or a girl at all, that is.
