Going for it on a blitz

Post by Rewslaun »

Greetings,

If my player falls down while going for it on a blitz does he fall down the in square occupied by the player he is trying to hit?

No. How can he, the other player is there.

That's why I asked. If you fail a go for it you fall down in the square you are going for. This situation came up in a game and we weren't sure.

CRP p. 20 wrote:Roll a D6 for the player after he has moved each extra square. On a roll of 1 the player trips up and is knocked Down in the square that he moved to. Roll to see if he was injured (see page 11). On any other roll the player moves without mishap. If the player is Knocked Down then his team suffers a turnover and their turn ends immediately.

A player that is taking a Blitz Action may 'go for it' in order to make a block. Roll a D6 for the player after declaring that he will make the block. On a roll of 1 the player is Knocked Down as described above. On any other roll the player makes the block without mishap. If the player is Knocked Down then his team suffers a turnover and the team's turn ends immediately.
Roll D6 after moving or roll D6 after declaring the block. It is one or the other, not both.

Page 9 of the LRB6 rulebook (I don't speak CRaP) requires the use of a point of movement to throw a block during a blitz....

While not explicitly stated afaik, the only place to fall is in your current square.... The only way (again afaik) to get a push result is with blocking dice....
