Kickoff: Blitz result

Post by Menxar »

Playing Goblins, rolling a Blitz as kickoff result, may I:

-throw a bomb?
-throw a teammate?
-make a foul?

Always assuming the goblin/troll was not in a tackle zone at the beginning of the Blitz-turn.

And a blitz action.

Another thing you cannot do is throw a block and pick up the ball (it hasn't landed yet).

You mean the only thing you can't do...

Of course you can throw a block!

All you need to do is get round the back and blitz somebody into one of your players who hadn't started the turn in another tackle zone and who hasn't already moved. Simples!

Sorry, lazy english.

Also 2 other actions you are unable to perform are: throwing a block and move to pick up the ball (it hasn't landed yet).

The other poster is correct, but it is difficult to push someone into a blocking position.

But you can run a (usually fast) player to where the ball is going to land, and then get a free attempt to catch it.

That's only a theoretical case but, according to me, if the Troll isn't in a Tackle Zone at the beginning of the blitz turn and the goblin is, the goblin is allowed to be thrown all the same as it's not an Action for him to be thrown. So, by me, he won't be allowed to take an Action in this blitz turn after having been thrown, but he can be thrown. ;)

goblin can still take his activation (assuming he survives the landing) Makes a great early bomb though ....

Only players that didn't start in a tacklezone may take an action during a blitz.

I have seen a Goblin team score in 0 turn courtesy of a Blitz. A troll threw a Goblin in the opposing half, and the bugger ran into the opposition end zone where he caught the landing ball for a touchdown.

Did it twice once in a league game - my opponent was 2-0 before his first turn. :lol:
(Of course, I didn't make another successful TTM for the next 6 games. :roll: )

does it not advance the turn tracker for scoring in your opponents turn? i was under the impression that the ball landed in, and not before, turn 1
