How's 4 blitzers, 4 blockers, 2 throwers, 2 linemen and 2 rerolls for a starting orc team?
hey mauled (or anyone really) my naf sub is done and I don't know if I want to renew, what gifts are available atm?
~the rest of this post is helping people~
>>50360289
https://fumbbl.com/help:LRB6RaceStrategy
click orc team rosters, generally being orcs you don't need 12 players and especially with a starting roster that 3rd reroll is much better than the 12th man, it's not a bad idea to pickup a 12th man but remember that rerolls are more expensive after team creation
>>50358925
it's from A Friendly Orc's Daily Life, by Jin (or Good Ork Day), whatever li Orc no hi
>>50359104
Google "(city name) blood bowl league" and you'll probably find a site or facebook or something, if not check the naf, they've got a league locator your can use for free
>>50360002
>Season 6 starting this weekend
Jesus fuck, can we have a week to wait
>one designer James saying the day-one errata is done
>the other, Andy, says with all the butthurt they're thinking about it still
>>50360414
For renewals I think you can ask them what they've got left of old gifts, like the various coloured block dice or the coins. Just have a word with your regional NAF guy when you come to renew.
>>50360896
>>50360904
Are we actually doing signups this weekend?
>>50360907
Just seen that in the OP, I said within seven days so it's not far off.
I haven't played BB in a few years, what are they changing?
>>50360964
Gutter runners get rerolls on the injury table, human catchers are cheaper and can steal star player points, Morg only plays for humans and orcs.
>Double skull
>Reroll
>Double skull
>Blitzer dies
RIP Wizardsand Babes
>>50361105
Good, they both were useless anyways.
>inb4 special plays lets you buy a BLITZ
>>50360842
Only signups are starting, there'll still be a few weeks before games start happening.
>>50360414
What if I took 10 Linemen, a goblin and 6 rerolls?
>>50361475
You will lose a lot.
>>50361497
The good thing about losing is that you still get money. I would play the long game. By the end I would have replaced those linemen with blitzers and blockers AND have more rerolls than others.
>>50361527
Having too many rerolls is bad
>>50361527
It's an awful idea
Each reroll unspent is a TV bloat that you didnt use, and as orcs you would rarely need more than 3.
Well, as a good orcs i mean - if you start with literally no skills sans one dodge, you may as well burn through those.
I guess you could start with that setup and then move towards normal one and get rid of some rerolls... Or alternatively just start with a normal one and spare yourself shitty phase.
I don't know how how I feel about the new changes
The big man just posted this.
>>50362159
At the moment it's striking me as "here's the CRP back piecemeal with some zany!!! changes and DLC".
What version of the LRB is it up to now?
Is there a /tg/ bloodbowl 2 league that's active?
Also that feeling when you wanna play tabletop bloodbowl but no support structure to play it with.
Shit sucks.
>>50362190
See LRB6 in the OP, also known as the CRP or Competitive Rules Pack. This is still technically the Fourth Edition of the BB Rules, though a lot has changed since LRB1.
The original .pdf was very barebones, with just the rules and no proper editing, so there were missing page numbers and such. The one in the OP is put together properly, and re-includes the fluffy bits and "Do You Know?" boxes and stuff from earlier versions.
Does anyone have a copy of the new BB rules in pdf format?
>>50362179
I am a firm believer of notion that "Optional Rules" are surprisingly often a sign of bad game design.
>>50362338
Cheers, didn't see the link originally.
>>50361105
>kegs
fucking political correctness
>>50362588
And yet, two days ago there were threads about SJWs invading the tabletop hobby and were both 404'd. Too many leftists on this board.
>slept in until almost four hours after my game
fuck
>>50362671
Congrats dom i froze my ass for nothing.
>>50362179
Blood Bowl league rules have always been in a supplement though.
>>50362857
>always
Except for the past 15 years.
Lo and Behold! A new challenger approaches
>>50362588
too be fair to GW their Babe minis would likely be horrific.
>>50361119
>Babes
>Useless
I understand the wizard sentiment, but the babes Come on man, that +1 ko roll is a life saver
.>>50362588
They're still there anon, someone still got to pour the beer down the players unconcious gullet.
>>50363998
What makes you say that?They are releasing that Halfling ref with the big sandwich and possibly others, no doubt with some amazing rule that if the Ref isn't in 3 squares all Fouls are automatic RIPs or something
>>50364081
Get a babe and you will only roll 1,5, and 6 on wakeups
>>50364088
They'll probably use the ref personality table from BB Magazine with Argue the call. Biased, Pyschotic, Veteran, Cowardly, Greedy, etc.
>>50361035
>can steal star player points
this was a troll
wizards are the best inducement at 150,000
>>50364803
150k for nothing, great!
>>50364803
Not any more.
Why are they trying to fuck all the things up?
>>50364829
>>50364832
rules aren't out yet, I can still play with wizards until friday
>>50364859
given that some people actually think wizards are shit I guess GW has a right to take them away
>>50360002
hey guys, starting with blood bowl with the new game on friday. I already saw in the rulebook that orks can have goblins in their team. But right now there are no minis for them. Are there ways to convert a goblin for blood bowl? if yes, do you have some advice how?
>>50365254
When in doubt use their 40k or Fantasy Battle counterpart. Maybe strip some of the armor they have since even a high armor until in BB has some shoulders, a helmet, tunic, and a jockstrap
>>50365254
Just clip any weapons off.
>>50365288
>>50365293
okay, thanks. and is there a shop where you can buy some helmets or shoulder pads for blood bowl?
>>50365531
I think comixinos has some but I know lots of people use space marine shoulder pads.
I used greenstuff for my rat ogre helmet
>>50365531
Impact! Miniatures do numbered shoulder pads. Puppet's War do some pads and stuff too, they're Polish IIRC.
About the Goblins, if you just want the 2 you might just want to look on eBay, probably get a couple of metal ones from>>50365288
the Goblin teams pretty cheap.
>>50365567
>>50365573
thanks a lot again!
Hey guys, I got what is probably going to be the final version of the Obituaries at https://fumbbl.com/p/notes?op=view&id=2692
I am working on the other parts of the page now despite needing sleep after a few 12-hour shifts. If I missed something, please notify me.
Hey lads, kinda new to the blood bowl scene, I will get the starter box for Christmas and I was wondering if once I get the Season 1 book and the Skaven team box, I can play with them against both the orcs and the humans without suffering penalties
Like, do the 12 figures boxes are suposed to be balanced between each others?
Watch skeletons and horrors beat the shit out of each other!
https://fumbbl.com/ffblive.jnlp?spectate=911732
Once in a lifetime opportunity.
>>50365911
The boxes aren't really balanced but you can play against one another fine, there are exhibition rules in deathzone
>>50365911
Yes, they are meant to be fairly balanced. Most people give the Orcs 2 Rerolls and the Humans 3, so I imagine the Skaven getting 3 too is about right.
>>50365911
all the boxes are roughly balanced in that they are all missing key players but you can certainly use the boxes to make standard 1000k tv teams. If your doing skaven though, I strongly recommend finding a way to get two more gutter runners, you can have up to 4 in a team and they are the best skaven player by a mile, so I dunno, clip weapons off some assassins or something
>>50365840
Alright, page is finally updated at https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=9828
The page now stands at 3,218 lines of code.
What can you tell me about these two?
>>50366566
They're a gay couple and Bob is top
>>50366566
that ain't wine he's drinking!
I want all games to turn into complete blood baths with casualties on both sides

Im genuinely speechless. This is the best game of Blood Bowl I've ever seen.
>>50366741
>47 specs
>>50366770
56 by the time I load the client.
>>50366770
2000+ SPP sat in timber on the RIP section.
Flings would have won too in turn 16 if the Chorf cunt didn't luck out. Though he had just double POW'd the ball carrying Centaur with a Fling.
AND HE PICKED IT UP
Another double POW by a Fling on the Centaur, followed by a stun. Chorf blitzer fails the GFI, only for the Fling to trip and CAS before the endzone.
Oh my
NOOOOOOOOO

>>50366152
>>50365911
Well if you get a rat ogre then you run the GW kit as Two Stormvermin, Two Gutter Runners, One Thrower, Five linemen
and that's a damn good team with 3 RRs
>>50366741
replay link? I missed it
>>50369351
https://fumbbl.com/p/match?id=3853766
I feel like I should fire the one-turner. He soaks too much spp and inflates my TV. I keep getting placed against necro and lizard teams that just ream my tight rat asshole.
Also, do you have any general advice for the skaven vs. necro/undead or lizard matchup?
>>50370341
undead rapes skaven, skaven rapes lizards though, your gutter runners keep pace with their skinks, just kill the skinks
>>50370427
I suppose the lizard match-up isn't normally that bad, but it's quite often I get placed against lizards with much higher TV than me.
>>50370468
work on your screen game, if the dice go against you then you probably won't win
>>50370341
it's a good thing having a 1 turner on skaven. if you can score multiple times early you can just play super conservative for the rest of the game.
>>50370341
>have one good player on the whole team
>want to fire him
Also why so scared of necro? They usually don't have MB or tackle until later on because of their need for block and guard
Why is this game 99 dollars.
>>50372225
Pretty standard for a game with as many minis as this, these days.
>>50372225
>actual blood bowl fans
"Wow this is so cheap! It's really competing with the third party market!"
>basement dwelling children
"This is TOO EXPENSIVE"
Minis are often far cheaper than video games friend
Why minis so hasbro-tier, then? Wasn`t GW top-quartile miniature-company?
I picked ho BB1 and BB2 in the sale. Should I play a lot of BB1 first to learn the game?
>>50373083
Oh lord no, play BB2, the "campaign" is an overblown tutorial, but easy to follow and throws some interesting events in with it. Plus more Jim and Bob, with a bit more in universe scope is always welcome.
Anyone have an idea on where to pick up the new box in Australia without being fucked over by the dollaroo
>>50372830
I play 30k.
Dont talk to me about cost small child.
>>50368437
What site?
Bamp
My only High Elf Lineman with Guard has rolled doubles(3,3) but uhhh doesn't look like there's anything else that's really good for High Elf Linemen for double rolls?I mean I could grab Thick Skull or Stand Firm maybe to keep him alive or in position but is Guard really the only good Doubles skill for High Elf linemen to grab?
>>50374387
Does he have Blodgestep yet? Because no double is as good as those for an elf with guard.
>>50374387
Mighty blow or just get block.
Never take stand firm on a piece with agility access.
Never take thick skull anywhere.
>>50374399
Guard's his only skill but all of my other linemen are pretty decently developed being either Blodgers or Wrestle+Fend. I suppose I should play it safe and get him Block but just want to make sure i'm not wasting doubles.
>>50374410
I was leaning up between MB or Block but was wondering if Stand Firm or TS would be interesting as well. I could go something funky and get Piling On as well but eh I suppose I should pick smart and get Block.
>>50374424
He's got Guard, he NEEDS Blodge. Side Step is also better than any double you could get at this point.
>>50374433
Stand firm: Your choice of 1 square or opponent's choice of up the three squares
Sidestep: Your choice of up to 7 squares
>>50374436
>>50374457
Took Block, had a look at my next scheduled game for the week and I'm up against Vamps where 3 have MB and 1 has +1 STR so I'm going to need him to stay upright. This next match not gonna be easy. Welp.
>>50374467
It's Vamps, wait for his team to disintegrate by itself.
A fresh human thrower that gets dubs takes guard right?
>>50374513
Strong Arm or Dodge. Depending on if you plan to have him sit back and throw or run around.
>>50374540
Shit, is Guard bad?
>>50374560
No, but you don't want it on a player dedicated to handling the ball.
>>50374560
No, Guard isn't bad just you don't really want your Thrower to be piled in on the line of scrimmage with Guard since they're handling the ball more. I mean if you really want to it's still a fine choice but ideally your Throwers are a bit more valuable and should be built to survive a bit.
>>50374575
Well to make sure I didn't fuck up too much, Ogre with Block is good?
>>50374593
Yes, spot on.
>>50374593
>Ogre with Block
Fantastic. And then you hope to get doubles and get him Dodge!
>>50374743
Is there a way to do something about bonehead?
>>50374743

FAQ
*We've had a test league and Tendril won.
*The only time you can reroll is if you already rolled that team in this tourney
*Rolls are made in IRC after you've gotten the attention of LogicsFate or Cmonkey.
*If you don't want to jump on the IRC, message LogicsFate on fumbbl and he will roll for you. No Rigo.
*There isn't a fumbbl league option for this, so we are going commando, expect routine MS Paint/work Brackets
*When you schedule post in thread
* freaking dice bot stopped working, trying to fix that now.
>>50375185
So if I roll a 1 I get to pick between Mors and Nippon? Seems ok.

>>50375286
Thanks for the catch, here's the corrected list.

>>50376173
And Finally, some one asked for a group for these team.
If you'd like to add you teams to this group to keep them organised, good on you. It also opens the possibility of futher tournaments with these teams.
https://fumbbl.com/p/group?op=view&group=10591
>>50376253
You should be able to run a tournament via the group even though it's using the open teams, which will enable overtime and let you override other game options if you want to. You'd have to substitute teams each round.
There are a couple of tournaments in SLO that work that way already. Basically it works the same as setting up a league tournament.
>>50376411
That' sounds like a lot of effort for OT. But if everyone joins their teams up, I will do it.
Is anyone else seeing this on the overview page or is it just me? Because it looks fine on my notes, yet shows up like this for me on the overview page itself. I already updated it and that did nothing.
>>50376583
It's fine on my side.
Do players still get SPP for removing a player who is then revived by an apothecary?
>>50376647
Yes.
>>50376658
Thanks.

If this turns out to be popular enough to run regularly, I definitely will. This time, we will just use these jank rules.

Not that much for overtime, not having to manually track the brackets, keeping a record of the tournament and being able to use the scheduler.

what would be a good team for me to roll with for this next season?
Rolled 5 (1d6)
>>50386092
weeping blades
>>50386287
dark elves, wood elves, pro elves, skaven, undead, norse, necromantic, amazons
>>50386314
cool, i'll have a look at those teams
is there a PDF available of the new rules/a list of changes? my copy wont be in for a couple weeks

Never.

Literally just fucking catch.
>>50387029
And half of sure hands.
>>50387018
This is the skill that's going on the Nurgle "Catcher", no doubt.
Honestly a bit surprising it's not a Mutation skill, doesn't seem crazy enough to justify being Extraordinary, and M skill access is rare enough that it wouldn't completely supersede Catch and Sure Hands (heck most of the teams that have M access on regulars don't have easy access to Agility and don't usually end up having Catch anyways).
>>50382678
Gonna use Dwarves with a Deathroller in my irl league.
what does weeping blades do?

They renamed Blitz-ra's and Thro-ra's and gave everything else gay names. I'm done.

>>50387551
>>50387578
Trying too hard with the grimdark angle (maybe to tie into Age of Sigmar?) It's clear the goofy tone is out the window.
How could you get rid of great puns like Blitz-ra and Thro-ra, though?
>>50387596
This is why I'm not buying until the dust settles, the new rulebook and deathzone actually feel like an incomplete game as it stands.
Like, it won't affect 90% of games, but it's a bit like comparing FUMBBL to BB2; why would you pay for something piecemeal when a complete edition already exists?
>If you have a suitable miniature representing your Necromancer, you can argue the referee’s call in the same way that you would with a Head
Coach.
fucking shitcocks
>>50387656
Yeah I can see why people on the BB Community are calling BB2016 "Age of Nuffle".
All these little wacky rules in place of actually bothering to put the full skill list in either the Rulebook or Deathzone.
Christ, as mentioned even the skills they put in were copied word-for-word from the CRP, so require the same FAQ along with the errata for the changed PO and Claw.

>>50387551
>>50387551
To be honest, a lot of these name changes are clearly aimed at either differentiating teams with similar names/themes and emphasising player roles for new players and aren't nearly as bad as most of the Age of Sigmar naming conventions. I'm okay with this.
>>50388519
Although renaming Blitz-ras and Throw-ras is pretty unforgivable, that's for sure.

I mean sure, I win coin flips all day, doesn't mean I want to devote 90 minutes to hoping I win about two coin flips a turn (assuming the opponent marks properly and I'm playing a team remotely capable of not being marked to death)

>If you have a suitable miniature representing your Necromancer, you can argue the referee’s call in the same way that you would with a Head Coach.
For those wondering, the rule in Death Zone is that, if you have a model of your Head Coach, you can argue with the ref when he tries to send one of your players off for fouling or using a secret weapon. On a 6 you get away with it, on a 1 your coach is made to leave so you can no longer challenge future ref decisions and you suffer a -1 penalty for any Great Coaching roll-offs on the kick-off table.

I wonder if losing the necromancer in this matter stops raise dead?

STALL needs three more coaches.
For those you missed it-

You get a new randomly rolled team each round you advance
Apply and roll on IRC or send a message to LogicsFate on fumbbl.

Also, only tw of those teams are in the group at https://fumbbl.com/p/group&group=10591&op=view
It isn't that necessary due to Logics being super autistic about doing things the hard way, but it would be nice if you place your teams there.

10 teams in the group, 4 coaches to apply, need 2 more coach to go!
Tilea and Nautican have entered the stage.
I said if everyone's team joined up I'd do it the normie way. You are being very aspie about going full autism though.
>I wanted to play around with brackets

1 more to go, Good luck to who ever playes the half-orc coach.

One more Coach for /tg/ STALL, and Skudrinka to make his team.

Will do whenever I get home after work.
>>50391817
Cool, so we just need one more coach, you don't even have to get on the IRC.
Bought Blood Bowl 1 and 2 in the sale.
Should I play Blood Bowl 1 first to get more mileage and appreciate Blood Bowl 2 more?
>>50393052
There's not that much to do in BB1 right now unless you're into singleplayer or have a specific league in mind.
>>50393052
BB2 has a better tutorial (the campaign slowly introduces rules to you) after a bit you'll probably want to download the CRP and read through the rules, unless you're content to happily click-a-long taking failures as entertainment while they face-fuck you senseless
>>50393098
>>50393093
Ok, cool.
Is it worth picking up the dlc races at the current sale price?

>>50379846
>>50379846
reminder that there's a guide for teams which are good for new players to start with
>>50393151
if you want to play them
it's noted that Wood Elves and Undead are considered the best two teams in the game. Lizardmen are also really strong along with Necromantic (where necromantic had the highest finish in the most recent tournament). Norse is a crowd favourite and also considered strong.
Nurgle is stinky shit so I would suggest you never buy them since they're like a bad chaos team (although at higher tv they're like a slightly better but still worse chaos team)
If you don't want to pay for DLC then you can substitute teams as such:
Lizardmen could either be Skaven or Chaos (chaos has high str4 but skaven have high movement dodgy guys like skinks)
Wood Elves could be High Elves or Dark Elves (high elves are better at passing, dark elves are better at everything else)
Undead or Necro could be substituted as buying either undead or necro (no real subs, if you're really cheap I'd say try out orcs)
Norse could be dwarves since both teams are very block focused, but dwarves are mighty slow.
Nurgle is straight up like chaos but... so just play chaos instead of shelling out dosh
>>50393231
cheers
Has anyone seen the decorations for the shops they are fucking awesome.
>>50393356
yeah, I know the small flags on strings are essentially garbage so if you ask the store manager you can probably get some free
idk how the larger flags/foam fingers will be given away, I asked and the manager told me if I bought two boxes of blood bowl I could have one
The new set is awsome. Skaven dice for the win.
>>50393604
Where did you get yours? The dice appear to be out of stock everywhere.
Dwarf team when?
Nurgle team when?
>>50393772
GW has extras in store
New to the game and I have some questions about the rules which I could not find in the rulebook.
If a player who has the ball is knocked to the floor by an enemy block, does the ball start to fumble from the square he stood on or from the square he was pushed to?
Can you only push an enemy player to the crowd if there is no other field to push him to?
>>50394496
He scatters the ball around from where the carrier fell down. You can only surf if all possible squares you can push a player into are outside of the pitch.
>>50394548
thank you very much.
Rolled 1, 6, 5 = 12 (3d6)

>>50396220
oh if only PO wasn't effect by loner...
>>50393772
I preordered everything new including the dice. They are nice. The teams snap together ok, but skaven probably need some glue on the blitzers.
Now the hard part of picking out a paint scheme.
>>50396719
Oh i am sure you will glue them alright anon

Guys what's a good way to learn how to play BB?
I'm playing BB2 with Undead, Humans, and Bretonnians and it's a hair-tearing experience trying to learn.
Does anybody have any materials from the OP I should especially focus on or any tips?
>>50396959
cknoor's beginner's videos, the art of blocking and 1000 losses playbook
Also use the fumbbl race help section for team specific advice.
>>50394548
>You can only surf if all possible squares you can push a player into are outside of the pitch.
Not true. All squares outside of the pitch are treated as occupied. If there is an occupied square on the pitch and 2 off of the pitch, you can push them off of the pitch ala standard push actions into occupied squares.
>yfw you complain to cknoor that now you need to run a 16 man team with 4 dirty players and he tells you to stop trying to murder teams and to try to score touchdowns
what a cuck
Anyone got scans of the new rules and/or white dwarf?
>>50398268
Because Cknoor is a scrub who calls himself an
'elf coach'
>>50396812
Woo hoo. Peer pressure is the best pressure.
Also, look at me pretending to have peers
>>50398500
Knife eared bastards.
So is grab going to be good now that you can use it on a blitz? I can see it being used on teams like norse that want to surf a lot
>>50398788
Did errata make it work with Bliz or remove the Bliz option?
>>50393142
don't know about bb2 but i learned blood bowl by just reading all the skill descriptions in blood bowl the first, picking up things like armour amd injury calculation from the dice log
>>50398268
>there are people who don't foul every game
kekking at their lives
i will foul the shit out of any valuable player, turn 16 fouls are my bread and butter if i've nothing better to do
>>50398893
Errata already removed that.
>>50398788
Grab was already good, depending on the player it was often a third skill pick for a good number of S access players.
>>50396812
Threepac was Half-Elves you dolt
>>50396812
Good job

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm 5-3-2 with these rat fucks on the champ ladder. Should I purchase a Rogre?
My current plan is to get two GR's with wrestle/strip/tackle for sacking, develop the blodgestepper to be all-purpose and keep the one-turner alive. Give the linos wrestle and maybe a dirty player.
Do you have any general advice for running skaven in a perpetual ladder format? What do I do with the stormvermin if they don't roll doubles for claw? Should I stay at 13 or 14 players?
If given the choice I usually kick first, under the logic that I can defend with more players, but against undead and heavy MB rosters they tend to just take their leisurely 8 turns beating the fuck out of my rats, even when I only offer a blitz a turn. Am I just unlucky or should I opt to receive, score on turn 3 or 4, and put them under heavier pressure to score in 4 turns?
Is the one-turner bloat?
>>50400265
1 turners are never bloat on any team. the rat ogre honestly isn't good enough unless you're going against tons of elves, or he rolls a double. you don't have any real cagebreaking gutter runners yet so i'd recieve first and score early to put the pressure on them, since you can't reliably get the ball without cagebreakers.
>>50400321
My biggest problem has probably been the delay in development of my cagebreaking gutters. Gave the first one block on principle and then the second got +MA and began soaking up a load of TDs as I naturally used him for my turn 8 one-turns after having kicked first and been scored against.
>>50400265
i'd be very happy to face a skaven and have him receive against me, particularly if i am more bashy
even as humans i exclusively kick against skaven
>>50400396
What do skaven do to fuck you the most when they kick to you?
I'm selling my orc team, you want dibs, /tg/? I'll sell it for 30$ plus shipping to you guys. Located in 08087.
>>50400492
I'll only accept paypal. Send me an email to my /tg/ throwaway, [email protected] for my real paypal 'n shit.
>>50400431
most games boil down to them scoring in 2-3 turns, then if they get the necessary rolls they score again, if not they lose
if they score late i'm still secured eight turns to make it a draw in the second half, not to mention that the longer they wait to score the more time i have to bash, foul, and take the ball. i lose when their stormvermin immediately kills my key players, if they do some skaven fuckery, or if i fuck up and they force me to score sooner than i had wished for. an option is also trying to rush me scoring in the first half leaving the ball undefended and open to a very easy theft plus goal
of course stealing the ball is an option at any point, but it won't be easy with tackle and guard everywhere plus good foresight in positioning
Really want to buy some of the new miniatures but fuck playing as Orcs, Humans or Skaven.
Also is there any word on if they'll be releasing individual player packs for the teams since the starting boxes give terrible rosters?
>>50396812
Does this "STALL" thing will tell us who's the biggest autist of them all?
Will the winner be banned from all other /tg/ leagues for life?
Cause otherwise it's not fun.
>>50401469
It will tell you who the biggest lucker is
i played lizardmen in fantasy so i start playing lizardmen in BB. Finally got around to checking out other teams and holy fuck you guys have too many team roles.
>>50400265
>blanks his name
but we can just lookup the team name "Doomwheel Fan Association" and find your coach name and dox you
>>50398995
second for a treeman, so you can chain block even after taking root
>>50397919
>All squares outside of the pitch are treated as occupied.
That would mean you can choose to not surf in the situation you described and chain push instead. But squares outside the pitch get priority over squares occupied by players.
>>50402236
>me punch with this guy
>me run and score with this guy
>what is positional
The mind of a lizardmen player.
>>50402341
not my fault you need 3 positions to fill one role.
Best race coming through!
>>50393772
Those dice a fucking ridiculous, I played against a guy who opened up a new box of them and I swear I saw one instance of a double 1 from them the entire game.
He could not stop breaking my armour and as a consequence I'm down two frogs with guard for my next game.
I mean, I still won, my dice were okay as well, but those things were ridiculous. Sometimes with Frogs you just have to wait for your opponent to make a mistake or fumble a diceroll and then capitalise, but it just never materialised with him, dicewise at least.
Luckily he still made the usual mistakes people made against frogs, and it was pouring rain so I was able to stall at the end and score, but that was how I my Block-Guard Linefrog got -1 AV.
