Highelf or Dwarf

habasta · Post by **habasta** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 12:59 pm

Which Cockerel do you prefer on a tournament, for example the Dungeon Bowl?

Highelf:
6 Lineelf
1 PhÃ³enixwarrior
2 Lionwarrior
2 Dragonwarrior

2 RR
2 FF

Dwarf:
5 Longbeard
2 Runners
2 Blitzer
2 Trollslayer

3 RR
3 FF

IÂ´m thinking of a running team or a bashy team. There will be many bashy teams on the DB 06 i think.

I would take the dwarfs!

You have more rerolls, more skills. I think that makes more winning chances. But it still depends on your style that you play and the dices you are rolling....
Good luck!

The problem is, my dwarf team is new. So i have one game with them till now.
I donÂ´t know dwarfes tactics yet.
They are very different to highelves.

Yes! What did you expect? Your want to change from a finesse team to a bashing team. So you can do a search in the internet to find out more about the dwarfs tactics and you can do more training games. If you are intressted o play a game. Just download the pbembbl tool and we can start a demo game in which I can show you the tactics of the dwarfs....

bottom line is this: both teams are fun, both can win, but both have VERY different ways of achieving that.

would you rather play a fluid game of mobility, speed, and precision blocking, or would you rather make a big pile in the middle of the field and grind it slowly as an unstoppable force?

the answer to that question tells you what team to play. i am a very good dwarf coach, if i do say so myself, but i rarely play them because i find their style very boring.

I would never take part in a Tournament with a Team IÂ´m not experienced with so you should stick to the elves I think, when you are able 2 handle them.

Depends on wheter you're going to the tourney only to win, or wheter you're going to have fun, and hope you win.

If I only played the teams I was experianced with, I'd have played Norse at every touney I've attended. More often than not, my tourney teams become my future league team.

I`m able to make 5 - 8 matches before the DB with my dwarfes.
But i need some tactics from you.
And which skills should i give them in a tourney. Whats nessassary for the players?
Guard for the Longbeards?
Mighty Blow for the Blitzers and Trollslayers?
And for the runners?
There are six games and whta is important?

While keeping in mind that I do not play dwarves at tournaments, I have had the misfortune of playing against them....

The team that seems to be most consistent at not losing the ball (prime dwarf requirement for play), first has block on a runner, then 2+ guard longbeards, and all the rest is optional (I would personally also take block on the second runner, for safety and defense, and guard on everything else).

You may find strip ball quite usefull on the blitzers. Then your opponent especially the elfs has to keep in mind that his players are allways double protected.

I would prefere the high elves.... but it seems you will play dwarves

tatics for them? stay together and hit 'em all

as mentioned before strip ball can be good, but guards are always the pain in the a.... and maybe a dirty player in your cage makes your opponent even more nervous

anyway....good luck and fun

Tournaments are all about fun. But if I came to win, I would never bring a team unless I had at least 20 games experience with it. 20 at the very least !

When you are experienced to play High Elfs the step to the dwarfs is very big. So I would agree with the Da_Great_MC and play many games as possible and play differnet races with differnet coaches. For that you can try to play games on Fumble or via email.
