"Tough that's the game", "You're only saying that because you're not a good blood bowl player" or "If you don't like that aspect of the rules, don't put yourself in that situation". Surely we're now done with the chest beating responses.
You are getting the responses you are getting because one team has Tackle ... Dwarves, it what they have. Dodging teams are supposed to have troubles throwing down with Dwarves. To create an anti-tackle skill would be to destroy Tackle. Elf dodges are 2+ and Amazons get 40k rerolls. Until someone proves that Dwarves are dominating the BB world there is not reason to reduce the effectiveness of tackle by creating anti-tackle.
I was staying out of this until the last post Ramorr. If you can talk your league into house ruling an anti-tackle skill ... more power to you. I support any league's right to house rules. I doubt you'll convince anyone else though. As for having a house rules forum, well a LOT of folks on TBB are very open to house rules ... heck several of them play in the MBBL2 which has a lot of house rules. Not thinking their should be an anti-tackle skill just because Dwarves can beat up Amazons is no where near the same as saying that you don't support house rules.
