One small question concerning the HMP snotling, does it get a -1 on the HMP, so that it fumbles on a 1 or a 2 or does it just fumble on a 1?

Thats a good question, I would assume it just funbles on a 1 myself, maybe a BB expert can enlighten us.

Take a look at the text for the skill hail mary pass. The text for the skill makes it clear that the D6 roll is for using HMP, not "for making a pass roll", so the stunty penalty does not apply.

Nor do Tackle Zones or Disturbing Presence. Since you don't use a Range ruler so I'm pretty sure that you can't Pass Block either.

HMP is just Awesome for a Snotling, but don't use Snotlings to throw the ball if you can help it... With the -1 penalty you are no more accurate than an Ogre, but more importantly, you are more likely to fumble (since you fumble a Quick Pass on 1-2). If your thrower is a snot and he has the ball (or just fumbled, failed to pick up etc...) you are begging to be blitzed - Maybe even Killed! If your thrower is an Ogre and he has the ball, it's a Real chore to Blitz him! To Top it all off, an Ogre can get Strong Arm.

Now most people will say, "You shouldn't throw with this team"

They don't understand that the Highest MA on the team is 5 and the whole team is prone to failure. (If an Ogre Fails it is usualy a Bone head/loss of tackle Zone and an Snotling who fails a roll is usually injured) Some times a Hand Off just isn't realistic... Having a Potential Thrower is Important to compensate for the lack of mobility.

It also doesn't hurt to have an Ogre who is practiced at Snot Lobbing!

Our gaming league is now the biggest in Canada and this year we get to host the Spike, we are all super excited.

You won't be the only ogre team in TB, Wedge. Someone needs to terrorize the TR100 teams. Plus, leaning this way for the Spike!, too.

We'll crib notes through the season.

Its going to be fun, my team will be starting the laegue with a TV of 136 and I have 6 ogres on my roster.
After reading all the good advice on here I am looking forward to my Hail Mary Snot and ogres with Pile On and Strong Arm.
