Discuss Fantasy football-style board games - GW's Blood Bowl, Impact!'s Elfball, Privateer Press' Grind, Heresy's Deathball, etc. THIS IS NOT AN NFL FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE!
I am thinking of taking Norse to the Fruit Bowl tomorrow. I am toying with these line-ups. What do you think? Is it worth rejigging so I can have snow troll.
The line-up at the FB is looking like a total speed and AG fest.
2 x beserker
2 x runner
2 x Ulfwerener
5 x lineman
3 reroll
6 x lineman
2 x beserker
2 x runner
2 x Ulfwerener
1 x apo
2 rr
Is it worth dropping runners and having 4 Berserkers? As may be patently obvious, I have not played Norse before....
Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.
In most games, you're gonna wanna assume a bashy stance on many fronts, and pray that your armor holds long enough for you to get a ton of double-die blocks with the skill in your favor (all the time, hoping your armor holds for retaliation).
The troll is great for cracking hard armor, but it's only once a turn, and he's easy to gang up on. I'd skip it if you can, but then again, it depends on how much you like the big guy.
In my head, if you're using him for the one blitz a turn, he's probably not worth it (you have the Frenzy guys for important pushes). If you're fighting in lots of places at once (as you should, block in low TV rules!), one big hitter won't make that much of a difference, although it'll pierce that armor much mo betta.

Extra linos is a big key for Norse in my book.

I'd rather have one big hitter with claw, Block, and MB than a couple of linemen. And it's not once per turn. He has Frenzy. But even if it's only once per turn like you said, if you replace him with a couple of lineman, that lineman can only block once per turn too. So why not have a 5ST, Frenzy, Claws, (and eventually MB and Block), instead of a ST3 player with Block. No brainer to me.

This was a tournie so your post doesn't make sense.
But then you were answering with no brain...

Ouch, a bit harsh. Don't know where THAT came from. Let's see.... are Snow Trolls allowed in tourneys? check. Is a ST better than a lineman? check. Do some tournaments give skills after each round? check. Should I take MB on the ST? check. Should I use my doubles skill to take block on the ST? check.
But very few tourneys allow 2 skills on the same player. And I've never seen a tourney with a normal skill AND a double skill for the same player. I don't say that there's no tournament with such a ruling out there, but they're definately the minority.
But I agree that PubBowlers answer hasn't been a polite one.
