Hey, I think I allowed revoting. If I did, and if you voted for SS or MB on the Lino but think Dodge would be better, change your vote to the bottom answer, please. If you voted for the bottom answer, but you didn't mean Dodge, please post.

Went with the 3rd option, Dodge on the Blitzer and MB on the Lino. At halftime, the Necro are looking much scarier with two ST increases since I saw them; one of them is on a Ghoul I BH'ed, but still... I stalled too long, and we're scoreless with me kicking off in the second half. He's made 5 blocks and has yet to get hit, so none of the skill options would have paid off yet.

Already used Strong Arm, BTW. Didn't modify the die roll, but it did open up a game-plan that I wouldn't have tried without it. The basic offensive plan worked nicely, even if I didn't score. The problem was that my downfield cage got busted, not that I couldn't get it together. The SS/D Blitzer has used Dodge defensively already. I have a feeling I'm going to be happy with this trio of skills.

Played the second half, what there was of it. He caged up nicely and KO'ed a Blitzer, and then I tore his team apart, took the ball and made him concede. I really shouldn't say I "made him concede": I delivered some nasty body blows, corralled his team, got all the mobile guys off the pitch or into the middle of the corral, and when his MB/Block/AV9 Were died, he just lost all hope. I would have kept going were the shoe on the other foot. Mighty Blow on the Lino delivered the death-blow, so I can feel justified in my selection even if I'm somewhat dismayed at my friend's lack of heart.
