Mickey Finn question

Post by Orin »

What's the use of Mickey Finn(53 on the handicap table)? You can make one of the coaching staff (execpt the head coach) unavailable for the match.

So, is that just a cheerleader or an assistent coach (accordig to LRB part of the coaching staff) which would make it pretty lame, or also the apothecary and the freebooted wizard (which i think not, but which would make it more useful)

Another related question. What do you do when you roll useless results on the Handicap table (like Micky Finn if the opposing player has neither Cheerleaders nor assistent coaches) or Bribe the Ref if you only have 11 players or less. I believe all the other results are always. Do you get to re-roll, or is that just rotten luck?

That's rotten luck.

To your initial question, the Apo and the wizard DO belong to the coaching staff, so you would let your opponent either waste 50K for the wizard or let him play without the apo. Quite dangerous for agility teams.

When you get mickey finn you usually make your opponent apo unavailable.
And for bad handicaps you just have to live with getting those :(

Bad handicaps

Post by gallowin »

We had a discussion the other night about bad handicaps. If you roll the dice and it doesn't affect anything was it really a handicap. i.e. You roll Virus and your opponent doesn't have and Niggled players.

We decided to allow a re-roll as long as it truly can't affect anything. If you roll Make mine a Blood! then it's on you to remember to call it out every drive.
