Troll Big Guy at 3rd Star Player Roll

Stefan · Post by **Stefan** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 6:38 am

Hi members,
yesterday my Troll Big Guy reached his 3rd Star Player Roll. I rolled a skill.

Until now he has got Block and Guard.

Now I think of giving hin Tackle.

What do you think?

Best regards
Stefan

Trolls are no longer able to aquire general skills on a normal skill roll.
Break tackle would be my choice.

If you have houseruled that big guys are allowed general skills i would take pro unless you are facing a lot of elves, stunties or amazons.

I'm presuming its an orc team.

If you have strength only access Multiple Block is probably the best choice - but really they are all quite weak, Break Tackle & Piling On will be useful too.

If you have general skill access then Pro (if its a skill) is the best, but tackle is also good.

I normally recomend pile on, but becaue you have guard i don't recomend it...

break tackle is good if you are in league tht is following the LRB 4
tackle is good if your league hasn't YET changed to LRB 4

Until now we play with LRB 3.

So BGs may take general skills, but Pro is a trait.

Our league features 8 teams:
2x Wood Elves
1x Dark Elves
1x Skaven
1x Norse
1x Halflings
1x Dwarves
1x Orcs (mine)

i'd go multiblock. most of the dodgies will be able to stay away from your troll, neutralizing his tackle skill.

That's the reason why I'd suggest Tackle, especially in thÃs league. Make them pay RRs for it.

Well, from my experience it's always been a pain to play against such guys with AV 7, especially if they got Tackle as well.

For your league tackle seems to be the best.

Brake tackle would be the 2nd best. The Troll will be able to dodge in order to offer his guard skill for one or more blocks.

In a goblin Team I have also a Troll with 3 Skills.

Block, Breack Tackle, Stand Firm. This Guy is a real nightmare.

So I would suggest to give im Breack Tackle, as it will give him the long missed mobility.

I would go for tackle! Then you can bring down the dodgy one easier and the hav to pay rerolls when they fail dodge as Mirascael said already.

This combo is just horrific.

Cheese to the max, gotta love it.
