Waiting to score is Fair?/Unfair?

[Ancalagon]

To me, Blood Bowl is first and formost a board game I enjoy playing with my friends. That's why I prefer not using tactics that bore people. As I said, it's not an unfair tactic - just a bit dull.

So when using skavens or fast teams against dwarfs you won't run away; when using dwarfs/norse you won't block always; and with elf teams you won't do Run/hand off/run/pass/score routine because those tactics are boring and or unstoppable for some other teams.

I can't really think of any tactics involving getting the ball to the end zone either boring or unstoppable.

Hanging around by the end zone, however, is usually just Bore Bowl.

There are of course exception - like if it's really risky, but might be worth it for giving your opponent just two turns to equalize... and when it fails, like in that hilarious story of the gutted orcs, it can be BB at it's best.

PS. Maybe one-turn touchdowns would qualify as at least a bit boring - unless they're made by TTM

When I score in two turns every time with my HE's, alot of people call that boring , its predictable , it is almost unstopable (as HE's are the greatest race to ever take the BB field), but it is the easiest way of me scoring, and ultimatley winning the game .

I agree with Zombie and Ancalagon here, it is valid and fair. Alot of team need plays like this to ensure victories against quicker and more agile teams, I would suggest you stop complaining and try too find a way of stopping them do it with skill .

I play in a league with some guys using the heavy teams (lizards, O&G, undead, etc.). Some at least try to score, but one guy who plays Lizards just sits back and beat the crap out of my defense line to try to score in the final turns.
You could say that it's fair, but he has a line of 1 kroxigor and 6 saurus before 2 stormvermin and REALLY much linerats who don't stand a chance. So even when he has the possibility to go and score with his very few skinks, then he still doesn't do it. You could say it's fun, but he's trying to make it a lot harder for me then it has to be.

Don't sit next to his team, get away from them and he can only make one blitz per turn. Try and use your speed to get on his ball carrier, this is likly to be a skink who only have strength 2. If you can't get to the ball just try not to leave your team so it can get beaten up.
