If you like playing with thro-ra's then buy them, I personally don't like them but it's a matter of personal choice IMHO.

Well I only say them because they could help but idk.

The other thing I saw was getting Dirty player on about 4 Skeletons off the bat. Now if your Skelies get ejected and you get akill thats an even exchange. But once you start to run out of Skelies your down to 4 mummies and 2 blitzers. I am just saying that with AV7, and no block aren't they easy targets to hit/kill?

Just wondering because I know you guys have the experience.

Of course they are but that is the point. Throw them at your opponent. Buy tying up your opponent you are creating two opportunities. #1 that they are using players on the skellies thereby freeing up the players you are going to use to beat them to a pulp #2 you are making them throw more dice thereby chewing up RR. ALWAYS make you opponent throw more dice than they normally have to.

The philosophy generally is remove more of their players than you get removed.

Mummies lose general in the vault. How badly will this hurt these guys

The throwers play a role on my teams. I don't place a priorty on getting them but they are nice to have eventually. I have never had any money troubles with a khemri team so I don't really see any reason not to get a thrower or two in place of regular skeletons. Build them opposite of Blitzers.

Throwers get Block first
Blitzers get Surehands first

Gives you 4 players to handle the ball with the prefrence bieng on two of them. The same way you play a dwarf team.

I've gotten throwers on my khemri team because I got nothing else to really spend the $$ on. I turned one throwere into a punter....hailmary pass. the other one is my kicker.

but I don't start with them --- just extra when you got nothing else to spend $$ on. ---you can only freeboot ramtut so much :o

We play with the vault sweetener rule so having a lean and mean team to avoid your opponent taking stuff like bloodweiser babes or a field surgeon is absolutely essential. Therefore I'd sooner give a skellie sure hands and block than buy a thrower because they are so expensive they drive the team cost up too much for very little in return.
In LRB league rules I'd probably buy throwers too if I had money to burn.

I don't mind, but anyone trying these tactics on fumbbl should realise that it's very hard to get games with a Khemri team and especially if you have a few dirty players in your team.

Not to go to far off topic but after looking through the latest vault rules is dirty player even worth picking up in a vault enviroment? How much do you expect that to hurt the Khemri team?
