I found my notes!
pitch is 18 x 10 instead of 26 x 15
wide zones are three squares wide.
12 players on the roster, 8 players on the pitch.
MA:
original --> new
1; 2 = 1
3 = 2
4; 5 = 3
6 = 4
7; 8 = 5
9 = 6
so a MA 6 human becomes MA 4 in this version.
Go For It limited to 1 per player. Getting up costs 2 MA
Passing ranges are three:
SHORT 1 to 3 squares. gives +1 to the throw roll and scatters 1 square if not accurate.
MEDIUM 4 to 6 squares. gives 0 to the throw roll and scatters 2 squares if not accurate.
LONG 7 to 8 squares. gives -1 to the throw roll and scatters 3 squares if not accurate.
also other rules and skill descriptions got changed, but I made that before 4th edition. I'll have to rewrite some skills.

Just to remember that you can allways put time pressure in it.... if you want to play a BB game in 1.5 hours... well, then each turn should be done in 2.5 minutes... and you have 10 for mid turn, and oposing coach action....
I really would like to see a game with 1.5 or 2 minutes limit per turn... just think fast!!
There, of course, the rule "piece touched, piece played" makes sense in the spirit of the game...
But, I'm afraid this will prove to favour the passing teams - these only have to move forward 1 or 2 players... dwarfs should have more dificult times, I guess....
Anyway... I think I should get 2... how do you call those sand and glass things in english?... well, you know, just to try....
