New Chaos team for league

[wesleytj]

sounds like a very solid start. your team is progressing well and you have all the ingredients in place for solid future growth as well.

i would have advised against giving extra arms to the beastman with the doubles roll. it's certainly not a BAD choice, but there are better options. in your rules set particularly, i would have gone with big hand, and then given him sure hands as his next still. this would have given you a player who you can always count on to pick up the ball under any circumstances.

i would certainly recommend big hand if you get a beast to roll doubles again, for aforementioned reasons. then if you do, you've got both sides of the handoff transaction covered (or even quick pass if you feel brave)as your extra armed beast will be more than happy to make the 2+ catch for you.

get used to the mino checking out early. he's only av8 iirc, and with no block and a BIG target on his chest, it's not uncommon for them to be taken down. now that you have all 4 cw's though, you can generally get by without him anyway.

in general, just keep getting block on anybody that doesn't roll doubles. i'd suggest guard as the 2nd non-doubles skill in most cases, but some mighty blow and tackle sprinkled in are always good choices as well. Although you say your league is bash heavy, maybe you don't need much tackle then.

and like i said if you get a beast with big hand, take sure hands on him next.

it sounds like your on-field play strategy is at least reasonably sound, or you wouldn't have such a good record with a mediocre starting team like chaos are. so just keep doing what you're doing on the field, and you'll probably be just fine!

should have been more clear.
We are using the rules and team rosters from version 4, with the skill descriptions of version 5 (dont ask me - I just play by the rules I'm given).
So I didn't have a double roll to get the mutation and a lot of them aren't that great any more otherwise I'd have certainly have gone for big hands.

oh...that does change things somewhat.

at any rate, big hand is still a good beastman skill in defensive situations, and for those unfortunate rainy games, which hurt chaos teams more than most. however, i'd now switch the priorities around on that player, giving sure hands first THEN big hand later on down the road.

most of the rest of my advice still applies, although you obviously have some other interesting skill options. grab, juggernaut, and wrestle are all good skills for chaos teams. i'd still take a lot of block and guard though.

Chaos requires a lot of experience and insight to the finer aspects of teh game

Why do I enjoy playing them so much then? Although, when vamps don´t bite and 4 re-rolls isn´t enough for the least bit of ball handling things are not so enjoyable...
