My next opponent is a TV113 Khemri player. I think ill be able to induce a merc blocker with guard. just for the front line to at least keep it at 1 dice blocks.

mercs with guard are the best kind of mercs. They rarely get spps but they are still quite useful.

Played my third game yesterday against the Khemri player. I made a mistake and he only have a TV of 100 so no inducements.

once again i was pounded senseless, although I sustained no MNG's nor any permanent injuries (the only one being saved by an apoc.

However 2 members of the team skilled up. These are standard skill rolls and I cant see taking anything else except the "default" skills, unless anyone see otherwise

The team looks like this

Blocker, +1 MA, Block
Blocker
Blitzer, Block
Blitzer, Block
Blitzer, Block
Blitzer, Block, Dodge
Thrower, Pass, Surehands
Lineman
Lineman
Goblin, Dodge, Stunty, The right Stuff
Journeyman lineman.

If you rolled normal rolls, the Blitzer can't take Dodge. I'd suggest Guard or Tackle, depending on if you are facing lots of agility teams or lots of strength teams.

You think that's a bad start to a league.

An all Chaos league, TR100 (LRB4 rules).

We've just finished the first half, and I've got 2 dead Beastmen, one Beastman at -1ST (to be retired), a MNG and 2 KOs, that obviously decided not to start the 2nd half.

Ah yes, sorry your right there.

The teams in my leage are 2 x humans, khemri, dwarf, 2x chaos, 2 x skaven, wood elf + High Elf. So it seems to be a mix between bashy and finesse. hmm...im stumped now

What about Strip ball for the blitzer.

Guard and Mighty Blow are always safe choices. Orcs with strip ball, meh, they're not fast and agile enough to make great use of it. Just put that ballcarrier on its ass instead, no fancy tricks (leave that to elves) and it works just as well.

agreed, Might Blow to rack up spp's and even the score casualty wise

Definitely Mighty Blow for that blitzer. Go smash some heads and see if you can do teams a "favour" by bringing their TV down prematurely.

ya, EASY call. MB and block.

Mighty Blow now and Tackle next, or the other way around if your next match is against a dodgy team. Block on the BOB is good because it works well with his +MA.

I played my 4th game yesterday against Dwarves and while I lost again (placing me firmly at the bottom of our league) no one died or was permanently injured. Which to me, is a good game.

I got a normal skill up on a lineman (which I assume I should use to give him Block).

I dont think I made too many mistakes during the game, but I did make a clanger in the second turn of the first half, when i decided to foul with one of my only BoB's and ended up getting him sent off. At least it stop him getting injured :/.
