It’s launch week! So to celebrate, played my first game in anger with the new rules against the eldest. Here’s what I learned!
- It’s still entirely possible to set up with 10 players. I did this on my first drive. Excellent.
- I’m blaming this on the slightly odd imperial team build that I had to use to make an 1100 tournament team: 2 blitzers, 3 bodyguards, 1 thrower, ogre, 3 linemen, 2 rerolls, gubbins
- Both teams ended up with 5k spare. When I build my tournament packs, I’m going to allow 1 Dedicated Fans to be bought for 5k
- Keeping track of Fan Factor is a bit of a pain – you have to WRITE STUFF DOWN! This is a step backwards for tournament BB where you didn’t actually need a pen and paper until you submitted your results. And then it only affects 11 and 12 on the kick off table. Not a fan. Opportunity for new swag though. Or people could use the score track…
- Saying “on it, not through it” is going to be consigned to the dustbin of history. As is push as slang for GFI, as Rush is just as easy.
- Tournament apo now works on a 1-3 on a d8 basically, instead of 1-3 on a d6, so is slightly worse.
- Assistant coaches are much better than cheerleaders.
- The boy managed an accurate throw team-mate, and then used the goblin to half dice my ball carrier down! Broken.
- It seems particularly churlish to take dauntless from Imperial blitzers and then put them against 6 S4 players in the box!
- I almost did one jump, then remembered you can’t jump an empty square, only one with a player in. Makes jump incredibly situational.
- Brawler is good fun! Especially if you roll a both down and a pow and then reroll the both down just for lolz.
- Vomit is fun too. “Always vomit before scoring” is a new phrase (as it can’t cause a turnover).
why cant vomiting cause a turnover?
If you roll a 1, there is a Armour Roll against yourself.. which can kill you.
would that really cause no turnover?
Player is not Knocked Down any more, so none of the turnover conditions is met.
