Chainpush-Crowdpushing!

Hello!

Yesterday I had a game with a friend to test what it's like to play dwarves.

Everything went great for me (How it shouldn't with that amount of Block...?). So at one point I decided to push one of his guys in the crowd. The situation looked like this:



First of all: The elf next to the sideline was stunned (If that matters). So I blitzed his blitzer with my runner, got a POW and a PUSH, took the POW and wanted to push his guy on the lying blitzer. So that way the stunned blitzer would have ended up in the crowd.

But he told me I can't do it because of some reasons I don't remember exactly anymore... I should add that everything went perfect for me and he failed alot of stuff, so his mood wasn't the best which reflected back to me... Let's say it was a kinda tense situation at that point. As I didn't wanted to argue over a game I just pushed his blitzer in one of my dwarves and continued playing.

But I'm still curious.

Would I've been able to push his guy in the crowd?

Greetings,
Wizard!

That is exactly what you could have done, too bad your friend denied you. If you troll slayer had blitzed, you could have pushed the first guy onto the second guy who would go into the crowd, then follow up and push the initial player into the crowd as well. Two players gone, one action. Can't beat that.

Well, I think you can beat that. You can chain-push 2 guys off the pitch with a Frenzied player (neither of them being the player that you are blocking), and also get a CAS on the player you are blocking. I have seen this attempted.

And it is theoretically possible to use Multiple Block to chain-push 2 guys off the pitch, while inflicting CAS on the 2 players you are blocking. I haven't seen it attempted, but it could ultimately lead to a rather famous "Four Die Block". Now that would be worth it.
