If using Multiple Block, can you use Mighty Blow on both opponents? How about Claw? Tackle?

Then is there a special clause that restricts ball-and-chain players from using MB on all their blocks? Or have I been doing that wrong, too?

B&C players don't carry out Block actions, they carry out Move actions and blocks (not Block actions) happen when they move into other players. Multiblock can only be used on a Block Action (hence it cannot be used on the block part of a Blitz action), hence B&C players cannot use multiblock.
Note that I've used capital initials when describing actions (e.g. Blitz action) but lower case when describing acts (blocking). The rulebook does the same and, iirc, italicises actions too.

Sorry, that wasn't in reference to Multiple Block, but to Mighty Blow. Can B+C players potentially use MB several times in one turn?

Yes. Using Mighty Blow is not part of the
Block action, but is a part of the block itself. As dode noted, the B&C can block, just does not do
Block actions.
Hope that makes sense?

Absolutely.
I think I may have been misled by Cyanide in this case, as I'm pretty sure my B+C only gets to use MB once per turn.

Think you dont get MB bonus on an already prone player though? I had that confusion when i first started smashing through opposing LOS's

I've always applied mighty blow to ALL Av rolls made by my B&C. Opponents on the floor are pushed back and an armour roll is made as if they had been knocked over so all modifiers would apply IMHO. It's not a foul action which mighty blow doesn't modify, it's an Av roll, a subtle difference.
A B&C players could not use multi block as he would "follow up" ( actually he just moves into the vacated square) after the 1st hit so to speak, but I don't think it written anywhere that he cannot take the skill, so you could waste Spp's giving it to him if you wished....only good if you hit a stand firm player I suppose.
Standing by to be corrected.....

Barring doubles MB followed by grab would be my options, who needs multi block when you can line up targets?

Have now read the rules for mighty blow and i believe it requires the opponent to be knocked down for the +1 to apply. Therefore I'd say that an already prone player does not suffer the modifier. Wish it did, but I dont think so

Hi.
I agree with Itchen Masack :
Mighty blow requires the opponent to be knocked down for the +1 to apply.
