I have played Necro a LONG time in which many of you know. I have a few questions for pros out there.

I am entering a league with in the next 2 weeks with my TR250 Necro team. They are damn good the roster consists of players with this. (I figure I would tell you so when I describe opposition you can help me)

Zombie~Block
Zombie~Block, Dirty Player
Zombie~Block, Tackle, Guard
Zombie~Block
Zombie~Block, Tackle, Guard
Ghoul~Block, Sure Hands, Sidestep, +1AG
Ghoul~Block, +1AG, +1AG
Flesh Golem~Block, Guard, -1MA
Flesh Golem~Block, Guard, Mighy Blow
Werewolf~Block, Dodge, Sidestep, Tackle
Werewolf~Block, Dodge, Sidestep, Tackle, Stripball
Wight~Tackle, Stripball
Wight~Tackle
Zombie~Block


So that is the team. Everyone has block and on their way to at least a second skill. I don't have a kicker, and only one Dirty Player. I figured that my play style liked to put skilled guys on the field so they didn't get picked on and earned more skills I would get everyone block first. My werewolves who used to score TD's like it was nothing now beat the hell out of players instead. The ghouls do the ball handleing because my wolves well they get angry at the ball and tend to not catch it or pick it up. What do you want they are aggressively built, (as well as to survive). You see there is one problem with this team. They are starting to get too good. That is hard to say legitimately. But I dread ageing that is why my 5 skill werewolf only gets involved when he needs to and sits on the field to strike fear into all gutter runners.

Well off of that for a minute and lets go with league opposition, what I know of that is:

Chaos Murder Team~.~The guy LOVES claws, and Razor sharp claws. He usually lacks getting guard in trying to get block, tackle, and mighty blow, and will skip over most useful skills like big hand, frenzy, and dauntless as well. I have a feeling I can beat this guy

Dwarves~The team is going to be a bitch to beat. I always have a problem with the short stumpy players. It used to be put three sticks on the line and let them get beat up. But with none of those players anymore what the hell do I do? I can't risk my Flesh Golems, or zombies. Honestly my zombies are damn good for a player of their stats. Also this guy has a thing for LOVEING to foul and hurt players. He goes guard, and Mighty blow on everyone first skill, except the runners who get passing skills. This guy I am afraid of some what.

Wood Elves~I hate the speed but I have it countered with my wolves. I hate their Agility but I can handle it. The LOS is mine. I mean 4 guard players 2 that are ST4. The tree is dead, and the dodgy elves are done. I have him out bashed, and speed I can handle with proper postioning. I have beaten the crap out of this guy before and feel confident I can again.

High Elves~Ok This guy has won only one game. Which was against a 0-30 guy (yes we had one that bad got a consession loss and a tie here or there but basically you can see he sucks) The wood elf coach is better and I can beat that guy. This guy can't out maneuver me, or do anything to me. I can destroy his team.

Amazon~Not much to say about them. Their ST is the power of the dodge, and haveing 4blodge St access guys. Their dodge is almost nulled by my entire team pretty much. The Flesh Golems and Ghouls will have the toughest time getting them down but the zombies, wights, and wolves won't. I can beat this guy too I am basically a better coach as well.

Undead~The guy that wen't 0-30 is this guy right here. Won about 5 games in a row with the undeads but then got slapped around by my Necros. I am almost positive I can beat him.

Skaven~Beat him in one of the best games last league. 4-3. Some say he gave me the TD's so he can get the ball back and score more but I ended up winning. If he uses this team the speed and OTS are gonna be hell. If he uses his orcs *gulps* then he has about 5 dirty players. I am going to have some serious problems there.

Orc~Current defending champion. His team is great and he is a very good coach. His tactic is something like this. Play the game let the opponent score. Then he scores. The game ends up about 1-1, or 2-2 by the end of regulation. Then he has a few rerolls left, has beaten the hell out of your team, and you have at least 1 more half to play. Then he wins agasint your depleted team, and with his extra rerolls. IMO the only way to win against him is endless scoring and running, or to beat him down and blow his apothacary early so he is afraid. The Skaven player I mentioned above lost to him in the finals of last league.

Dark Elves~They are good and the player has gotten better. Him and me are in my opinion are equally matched.

Orc~Another Orc team. Which I have problems with.



This is all I can remember right now. I have to say I think I have the biggest problem agaisnt teams like Orcs, and ST teams. They are just strong and I am not as bashy and too slow. I just don't know what to do agasint them really. I can try to out bash but it don't work. I usually cage, and move a quick cage up the field. Crushing the oppositon then scoring in 2 or 3 turns if with a wolf or ghoul. I just greatly dislike 4 Black Orcs, with a troll and 4 blitzers all which can take guard and mighty blow. That is something I can't handle. I also have lots of problems with block, tackle, thick skull, mighty blow, guard dwarves. Speedy teams I hurt, and if I don't I run. I feel I can beat them easier then bash.

Can you guys help me on soon skills, set ups, and what to do?
