Blunderbuss question

Post by SkiJunkie »

Does using the blunderbuss count as the teams pass action for the turn?

Not 100%, but I would probably say yes, its just like a hail mary pass isn't it?

No it does not use the pass action and if the ball drops into an empty space it's not a turnover and yes, it's broken.

I emailed Andy Hall about this prior the Blood Bowl Tournament as i thought about fielding Zzharg Madeye. He said the above (minus the "broken" part). I thought this would be a bit starnge and a possible source of endless discussion so i did not add him to my roster.

It's on the BBRC list for October though.

There was a very long discussion of this about 5 months ago. It is on the BBRC rules list, as Tim mentioned. It's a broken enough strategy that I would not let a team use the loophole in my leauge. Games could easily devolve to shooting the ball into empty space, freeing up a player with Sure Hands and walking into the endzone. Yuck.

Eyes acostume to the different light slowly, your aching knees hurt when you walk out of your corner ... :lol: :lol:

:o
I come out all the time. I usually just read though, as a lot of the discussions seem more like arguments. :lol:

I once read an excellent proverb on arguing over the internet. Something about winning an event at the special olympics... :D
