I'm planning on going to Cake Bowl 2 this year. The rule set is in a style I have never seen before.
So the rule are:-
So I'm thinking either Dwarfs or Skaven (hence the title!)Rules pack:
TV115
6 games swiss
Skill set
Same as last year, before game one a you can pick one of the following
A) 6 normal
B) 4 normal & 1 double
C) 2 normal and 2 doubles
D) 3 doubles
Before game 4 you can agin pick from A,B,C or D
Skaven would look something like this:-
Rat Orge - Block
Blitzer - Guard
Blitzer - Guard
Gutter Runner - Block
Gutter Runner - Guard
Gutter Runner - Strip Ball
Gutter Runner - Block
Thrower - Block
Linerat - Kick
Linerat - Block
Linerat
Linerat
3 Re-Rolls
Apoc
Thoughts are, Block on the Thrower incase I play any teams with Strip Ball, he can stand in the middle of the 2 Blitzers and so should be quite safe.
I did think about Claws for the Rat Ogre but Block seems a better option (or is it just me?)
So thats the skaven, now the Dwarfs (this might be a dull option!):-
Troll Slayer - Mighty Blow
Troll Slayer - Mighty Blow
Runner - Block
Runner - Block
Blitzer - Guard
Blitzer - Guard
Blocker - Guard
Blocker - Guard
Blocker - Guard
Blocker - Guard
Blocker - Guard
Blocker - Guard
4 Re-Rolls
3 Fan Factor
Firstly yes 8 players with guard! But come do you think dwarfs could do anything else?
I did think about dropping a Re-roll for an Apoc, worth it?
My main concern are do I take Guard on 2 on Blockers for day one and risk being out Guarded, or do I drop one Block on the Runners and maybe even one Guard on the Blitzers and have more Blockers with Guard to start with?
Key
Blue is Day One Skills
Red is day Two Skills
So which team do I take? and do I need to change anything skill or team set up wise?
Thanks for reading Ben.
