Newbie- What Team-What Race?

Magoo · Post by **Magoo** » Tue Oct 22, 2002 12:20 pm

Hi,
Ive only just joined the board and introduced myself as a complete Newbie/Novice/Duffer in the BB world.....Hell!, I havnt even decided what Team/Race would give me a good start. I realize there must be lots of considerations to ponder before deciding which Team/Race to field (in Pbem), anyone any thoughts?

I hope this is the correct forum for this post?

The best races to start with are humans or orcs. They are the two "most normal" teams and probably best to learn with.

Humans have a greater emphasis on passing and scoring while orcs are pretty good at bashing other teams up.

Once you've played a few games with one of them you'll probably know what style of game you want to play and then choose a race that suits your style.

They also used to come with the BB set, so many people have the minis. I don't know if they are in the new set.

yup as a starter i like the orcs as they suit my all smash style of play. but definatly get used to an average agility team before you start playing with the more adventurous races. suits the pocket better to have the modells too, as ian said.

In my opinion for starters the orcs and humans are the best, too.
They are easy to handle and have a wide range of starplayers, what's nice for collectors and painters.

Yep, try Human or Orc.
those two teams are good to learn the rules and they are great team to play with.

You could always be different and try undead. IMO they are an equally playable side for novices.

A good thing with orcs is that you won't have to worry too much about those AV-rolls, with AV 9 for almost every player.

In situations where you'd like to get fragile players out of the action, determining in which order to activate your players get's more difficult. Making a mistake here and there won't be the same catastrophes as it might be if you'd be playing wood elves...

What do you guys think of me using amazons as my first league team? I have played several one off games with humans, but wanted to try something different this time around. I am trying to descide if I should go with the Humies or Zons. Which would you pic?

Whats a Humies?? I would go with Norse! They rock, even with their low AV.

Humies = humans
zonz = amazons
