Tables in LRB or the card?

Snew · Post by **Snew** » Tue May 06, 2003 4:56 pm

Does anyone remember which overrides the other? I need the official answer. Important for tourneys ya know.

One glaring example is the landing modifiers for TTM. The LRB has

LANDING MODIFIERS
Attempting to land after an accurate throw +1
Per enemy tackle zone on the square
the player is thrown to -1

The blue card has listed

LANDING MODIFIERS
Attempting to land after an accurate throw +0
Attempting to land after a scattered throw -1
Per enemy tackle zone on the square
the player is thrown to -1

I don't recall if there were others but I thought there might have been. Which is right. THe LRB way makes it much easier to TTM. I'm not so sure I like that idea.

I don't know which one overrides which but I sure hope that the blue card is right in this case. The last thing we need is more little people flying through the air.

To my understanding LRB is the most up to date thing.
Are theese "new" Blue Cards, from the new BB Box or "old" ones from 3rd Edition ?

I think there should be new "Blue Cards" put online in .pdf format - the Red Card is online its called "Reference Sheet 2002"

That's what I think too. I'm not sure if new cards were made or not. If I had to guess, I'd say that the same card I have is what's being put in the new boxes today which means that there's still this discrepancy.

I know that this has been answered before, I just can't find it and the GW LRB Blood bowl site seems down so I can't check the rules review addendum thing. How's that for obscure. I'm sure you all know what I meant.

Some little voice in my head is telling me the card is right. That doesn't make sense, though, since they went through and cleaned up the disasters when they made the LRB. Well, they've, mostly, been cleaned up by now.

its not adressed in the rules review .doc

Guess you're in for some high flying goblins

I don't mind them flying around, it's landing without breaking their legs I'm worried about.

Since you can no longer Throw a Catcher and then throw him the ball, i think easier landing is fair. It creates a open receiver for the next turn, thats ok imho.

gees stop posting the same questions in different places, the card is from 3rd eidtion right.

back then ttm was done by the star players who have better ag now its done by rookie players so the landing is easier

the living rulebook is the most up to date rules, so that goes over everything else

If he's already got the ball though... it's all over but the crying. Handoffs and passes are legal in the same turn.

Not that this is an "official" answer per se, but in the FAQ from White Dwarf 282:

QThe Landing Modifiers on the example of Throwing a Team-Mate are different to those printed in the rules. Which is correct?

AThe Landing Modifiers printed in the rules are the correct ones (i.e. +1 for an accurate pass, -1 per tackle zone on the square where the player lands).

That's what I was looking for. I know that the LRB made those WD Q&As obsolete but I think we can agree that the LRB does, indeed, overrule the card. (even if I like what's printed on the card better

)

If the Gods of Blood Bowl Listen to Galak, all Goblins and Halflings will by thrown by AG1 Trolls or Treemen in the future. Exept those on Ogre Teams...

Just trying to get up to your post count 'dook.

I thought it may have gotten buried at the bottom of the other post so I made an actual post out of it. I don't see any problem with that.

Darn straight on that one. .... actually Chaos Pact teams could have AG 2 throwers also and that okay with me at the moment.

Galak

And that's a good thing.
