Defense with Elves vs Skaven
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2005 11:28 am
my local league is dominated by a very good skaven player, and so far if lost 1 and won 1 against him (the first to do so since it started 3 years ago)
this is the first year ive used pro elves, and after some luck not getting too many injuries, ive got a very successful team.
my only problem is how to defend aginst his one-turners when it comes to the inevitable playoffs. my his tactic is to stick his rat ogre, storm vermin, and gutter runner all on one side surrounded by linemen, mash my front line, open a hole between LOS and wide players, and run through with GR.
my defense team usually consists of 3 linefodder, 2 blitzers with block/s-step/J-Up/dodge (and one has +1ST), 2 linemen with diving tackle and tackle, 1 kicker with block, 1 catcher with AG5 and passblock, and one with dodge/Jump up, and an AG5 lineman.
usually, my blitzers and tacklers are wide, with tacklers closer to middle, catchers on end of LOS and 1 square back, and the kicker and AG elf deep
is there a more efficient way to defend against a OTW with these players? usually i try to get the passblocker in an intercepting position, and force the GR to dodge away from my Tacklers, but he always manages to get past.
so in summary, how should i set these players up to maximise chances of nerfing OTW?
