Hi there,

with a lots of luck i managed to get all my four norse blitzers to their 2nd skill roll in just 6 games. All of them got piling on as their first skill. One got tackle, one mighty blow as his second skill. But now i dont know what to give the last two. One with tackle, one with mighty blow? Or better one with guard? Or strip ball? I really dont know. Some advice would be great.
Oh the teams i will play against will be Skaven, Human, Chaos, Woodies and High Elves and maybe one Orc team.
And two Lineman have tackle, one dirty player.

Gaurds are good....but not really suited to your blitzers who are going too be piling on. Would have taken gaurd on a couple as first skill instead of pile on.
Tackle or Mighty blow.....take one of each.

Hey VorTex -

I have a Norse team with 4 Piling On berserkers as well. I chose to get all of them Pile On and Mighty Blow and it's worked well for me. Two of the guys have Guard as their 3rd skill and that has worked as well. As you start to thin out the opposing team, the guard comes in handy. Also, the guard is handy in sometimes erasing a possible problem with a frenzied guy getting off on his own without help.

Have Fun!!! My Madmen have 27 Cas in the last 3 games, 46 cas in the last 7 games.

Tackle is a great skill for a couple of blitzers, especially if you're not the fastest team out there.

You should give both of them guard as their second skill unless you have been so lucky and rolled doubles for a couple of your linemen.
The reason i say you should is that without having any player with guard you will have huge problems against teams with str4 and guard players.
What help is blitzers with pilingon if you roll 2 dice defenders choice blocks all the time!
