Ok, so what do I give to a Block Saurus that rolled a double-5 for his second skill?
Take the MA?
Take the AV?
Dodge?
Or ignore the double for Mighty Blow?
Rest of the team:
Krox
Saurus w/Block
Saurus w/Leader
2 x Saurus - no skills
Block Skink
2 x Skink w/Diving Tackle
3 x Skink w/Side Step
3 RRs
Also, I've got 80K in the bank - take the 6th and last Saurus?
Was so much easier under LRB4.
Reason:''
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.
Dodge, Break Tackle... it's a judgment call. If you're going to play the team for a long time (if you're not 1/2 done), Dodge. If not, well, take your pick.
Reason:''
What is Nuffle's view? Through a window, two-by-three. He peers through snake eyes.
What is Nuffle's lawn? Inches, squares, and tackle zones: Reddened blades of grass.
What is Nuffle's tree? Risk its trunk, space the branches. Touchdowns are its fruit.
Leader on another Saurus? Can't say I agree with that choice, when Block is sorely needed as a first still (or, since it's a double, Dodge).
But yeah, Dodge is good. Very good, infact. Only team it won't be devastating against is Dwarves, any other team will lack enough Tackle to really lock down your team - and Saurus tend to be tough enough that losing Dodge to a blocking Tackler isn't such a bad thing.
I'd be tempted by Diving Tackle followed by Stand Firm. Get another Saurus with Break Tackle, Block and maybe Frenzy. Hit the corner of the cage. Then get the Diving Tackle, Block and ideally Stand Firm Saurus to go stand next to the ball carrier.
I would take an apoth first and the 6th saurus later. If you already have an apoth, buy the last saurus.
For me, I think you need to avoid the doubles or the +MA and get break tackle. I don't know how you are surviving without any on your sauri! Usually 2 is enough, but my tactics suffer until I get those two. Frenzy is also an awesome choice.
The only other short term option is to get Mighty Blow and follow it up with Break Tackle, Piling On, or Diving Tackle (double) at 31 SPP's. But without Mighty Blow, I recommend ignoring the idea of 31 SPP's... it will happen someday maybe, but it's probably a long way away.
Longterm? Dodge is nice, but I'd go with Diving Tackle.
