Now I'm playing this deadly seriously, aiming for the highest placement I can, preferably a top-10/20 finish ( ), so obviously I'm taking 6 ogres and giving at least 5 of them Piling On. What I can't decide is how best to do the rest of the roster...
Issue #1: my last ogre can take a double on day 2.... normally if I play ogres, the first double gets Sure Hands, but I think Block may be better in this situation? Or do I just skip it for a 6th PO?
Issue #2: what do I do with what, on an ogre team, I like to call the "wasted" cash... the 260k I can't spend on ogres. I have to buy 5 snotlings to get to 11 players, leaving me 160k to play with. I've had two thoughts with this...
- my initial plan was 6 ogres, 6 snotlings, 2 rerolls. But this only leaves me one reserve which doesn't feel enough.
- my cunning thought last night was 7 snotlings, 1 reroll, apothecary. Gives me an extra "player" on the bench but also an ogre back from KO/BH - I'm slowly being converted to an apo being a good thing in tournaments. But on the other hand..... one reroll.
As background: I've played ogres in a TT league, and in FUMBBL blackbox; both times I started off with 6 ogres, 5 snots, apo, no rerolls, and I don't feel the lack of rerolls bit me too often, but both times I felt I needed more snots than I had.
I've got a practice game tonight where I'll try out the 2nd version (1 reroll + apo) and see how it goes. Though its against dark elves, so I'm going to lose, just have to see how badly
