October Review ... what's missing

My league takes a simpler approach for the Goblin team: we let them take any 4 secret weapons, but they cannot have the same one more then once.

Also, the Dwarf team may have a Deathroller instead of an Ogre. Deathroller counts as a roster player.

Say it with me boys and girls
Big Guys Can't Use Rerolls

5 words that sort that confusion right out

Actually Marcus that's not enough. The LRB already says this and yet I had players arguing that a Krox could use rerolls since he was a rostered player (ie shown in the roster) and any rostered players can use re-rolls so he wasn't really a Big Guy.

Also putting Big Guys on the roster gets confusing when the team has a choice of more than one as its easy for roster rules to appear as though the team can have one of each.

I still like having them seperate in the LRB for these reasons.

Tecnicly speaking can´t is 2 words since its a contraction of Can and not.

Galak: I'm of the opinion that if people can't read that "players with Big Guy characteristic can never use team rerolls" then they are thick and deserve to be shot or ignored or both. No reason to make things more confusing just to keep the morons fed. At the very least, adding all BGs to rosters will make this argument less likely, not more.

The BBRC is trying to eliminate confusion? Wow. Could have fooled me.

they are trying to eliminate confusion, it's just they have had a problem with the printers

or some other standard excuse.

Jesus...I can't believe people were on here arguing about can't being one word or two. There were 5 or 6 posts up there where that's all it was about.

What a bunch of jackasses!

Hey westley...arguing?
Just a bit of bantering dude...some of us on this board have:
a) been on this board since early days.
b) met up and formed friendships as a direct result of this board.

Flying back over to Holland in a coupla weeks, gonna renew friendships, play a coupla friendlies, discuss some NAF stuff and generally have a good time.

Jackasses? Dude..get a grip...

Does anyone have a link to the experimental kicking rules? Tom?
I'd like to reread them.

Everyone has pointed out that Big Guys can't use rerolls, ok, we know that, but WHY NOT? What is really accomplished by preventing them from using the rerolls?

Also the Goblin SW Position/rostered players should be limited to one of each weapon type. . .
