So brand new league

first game

skill points scattered around, one linemen gets +1 strength. Take it just to hold the line or go for guard?

He'll assist on the second block after using his 4 Strength to knock down the guy keeping him from assisting.

+1 STR all the way.

You could go with Guard and give 2 players assists on the Line of Scrimmage.

Be useful and dart the player about a bit lending those awkward assits.

Or go with the ST4, no skill AV8 option.

ST is not everything: Freud would do a number on you guys!

At this point of development IMO not taking str is a mistake. More doubles will happen but can you honestly say you'll get any more str increases for this team? On a elf team I'd probably never pick gaurd over the str increase at any point of development. Don't quote me on that though.

I should post a thread about a house rule in the league I play in. On 6+6 you can opt to remove a nega-trait from a player for +30k value. There have been some pretty interesting discussions around what do do with a 6+6 on a Troll :lol:


In this case though, I agree. How it can be anything other than +ST, I'm not sure.

At 30k? That's too cheap. 50k would be reasonable IMO.

The only conversation presumably is which one to drop... RS or Loner. I'd probably drop Really Stupid first.

actually it might be 40k... I think at 50k no one took the skill.

I'll let you know if I'm ever fortunate to have this problem ;)

Perhaps there should be another house rule that says when you get rid of Really Stupid, it becomes Bonehead. It doesn't seem right that both negatraits are as easily removed.

All the best.

At 50k on 6,6 the only debate I'd be having is which nega-trait to drop. Reliable S5 blockers are very valuable.

I hope you took the st+1


I think its been said before but pretty much any player apart from a big guy should take the +st. Its going to be very useful on any team and in so many ways combos with anything well.
