Bribes, secret weapons and fielding 11 players
Posted: Thu May 31, 2018 10:29 am
At the Mighty Blighty event something that I wasn't sure about was whether I had to use my two bribes in order to attempt to field a full 11 in a drive immediately before half time?
I received, and got a touchdown in Turn 7 - and after injuries was able to field 9 players plus 2 special weapons (who had been active in my opening drive)
What I wanted to do was use one bribe for one of the special weapons players, and keep the second bribe so that I could use that again to hopefully keep him in play for the second half - accepting that the second secret weapon would be sent off and that I would only be fielding 10 players.
....but I was not sure if I had to attempt to field a full team. My opponent wasn't sure either so I played it that I had to try to field 11 players (using both bribes) as I thought it better to take the route that would least disadvantage my opponent if I was wrong.
Note I did try arguing the call first in the hope that it would save a bribe or two and had my coach sent off!
