TR 110 Tourny Gobbos

Post by Leipziger »

I have no experience playing goblins, but am taking them to the Waterbowl. The tournament requires us to choose a skill set before the tournament from the following choices:

1 - 4 x skill, 2 x doubles skills
2 - 3 x skill, 1 x doubles skill, 1 x MV +1
3 - 5 x skill, 1 x Ag +1
4 - 4 x skill, 1 x ST +1

I was thinking:

2 x trolls
1 x ripper
10 x goblin
3 x rr
3 x ff

skill set 1 - 1 x troll with block, 1 x troll with multiple block, 1 x goblin with hail mary pass, 2 x goblin with dirty player, 1 x goblin with sneaky git.

What do you think?

Cheers

isn't DP a double roll for a goblin?

So you would have 4 traits. sneaky git is AG skill i think.

Ripper is cool. But i would definatly try and squeeze in at least 1 chainsaw.

Consider a gobbo with Diving Catch if you're gonna do a Hail Mary... and consider strong arm on a troll....

If you can induce another star player, maybe switch one gobbo for Scrappa....

And... don't know what to do about it... but you're gonna miss that fourth reroll....

Whatever ya do... givem Green Hell!!!

Traits? Is the Waterbowl still using LRB4?

No, we just forgot to update the wording on that in the rulespack

:oops:

Thanks for the other advice, guys (and for pointing out that I had taken too many doubles skills).

Cheers

I know little about Gobbos, but I would change the 3FF to 1 FF and 1 AC and 1 CL.

0 win, 3 draws, 2 loss.

For the skills, I took Break Tackle for the 2 Trolls, Hail Mary Pass for the Bombardier (it's a must have really ! :D ), Sneaky Git for the Pogo, Wrestle for a Goblin, and 2 Guards (Stunties could take doubles instead of normal skills at each round...).

I had big problems to have a full team after the 1st kick-off but I was aware of that: I absolutely wanted to try the 4 secret weapons ! :lol:
The inducements were not allowed at this tourny. If they were allowed, I would have dropped the rookie Chainsaw to take Nobbla instead.
