Was just curious, but why did they switch from the 2 square end zone to the single square endzone????
I haven't compared baords- YES, I know the squares are bigger on the new board. Are there the same number of squares on both boards? Did they make the playing field longer by two squares when they eliminated the second endzone square?
I liked having the extra endzone square, it gave your reciever some room to seperate from a defender.
Anyone know the answer?!?!?!?!

still a total of 26 squares long and 15 squares wide, so, you can still play a moderately similar game on the astrogranite if you only count the last row as endzone... (we used to explain the longer passing range for games played on the old boards by saying they were "in the dome" but who was on what board tended to be randomized when we had to spill over, so it couldn't be purposefully exploited...
i think the change was just a result of their decision to make all players 1 square, you no longer needed the full endzone space for the big guys to score a td in... i fyou go back and look at 1e, it too had a single row for the endzone (same number of squares or not? i forgot)... the common denomenator when looking at 1e and 3e vs. 2e is the use of the 4-square base for big guys... i just figured the extra end zone was a result of that...

of course, and field was much smaller but the pass distance were the same , so you could get a really, really long bomb from your side field, pass play was strong but fight one was different too and there was much more killed with those trap

I prefer the new board. It adds a certain risk for the cherry-pickers

P.S. For those not "in the know," a "cherry picker" is someone who hangs around the other team's goal, waiting for an opportunity to score a cheap goal without doing any real work. Hockey talent Jaromir Jagr comes to mind.

A "cherry picker"... what a fun... In soccer, we call it "renard des surfaces" (can't translate it)..."goal zone fox", maybe ?
What I like in 2nd edition is the pitch... The surface was less spoiled by the time (I knocked down sooooo many players -sadly, the most part was mine - on this pitch the paper of the board is a little bit spoiled...

In English the term we use is 'goal-hanger', favoured position of thousands of kids throughout the country in scratch games without offside rules!On 2002-04-03 15:46, DaFrenchCoach wrote:
