...and also what to do with an extra 110k.
Shold I get another Orc Blitzer or wait till I get some more $$$ so I can get me an Ogre.
What skill shold be given to my bob?
You can say that the skill should suit your team, but I'm still learning about the game and my Orcs, etc.
Help, gents!

The most common choices for normal skills would be Block, Piling On, or Mighty Blow.

Since it feels like the only way for BOB to get skill rolls is by inflicting cas. should I start my BOB with BLock or go right to MB?
In case if I roll a double what should i give him?

Give him Block unless he rolls double 6s (in that case take the +1 ST). After that you can worry about MB (or Stand Firm on doubles).

My personal choice is to switch off skills between the 4 (blitzers or bob's). Go Block for the first, mb for the second and so forth.

I always get block first on my black orcs (could have something to do with me rolling double POW/skull every other turn with them

)
After that i try to give them a bit different in skills like MB on two of them and PO on the other two.

Why take MB when you can take Piling On? Its much better at getting opponents off the pitch, and if you go prone you know you've got at least a stun.
Piling On or Block 1st, and probably mix them up.

Hi, I am new on the board and also quite new to BB.
That wont stop me from making a comment tho
My Orc team is based on scoring with the cage and I always go for the 2-1 win, thus holding the cage is my primary concern and for this I have found that Guard is better than Block as the first skill for BoBs - and on double I give them Stand Firm. That could mean that Block could be the third skill for a BoB.
But then I also started with no Blitzers and all four BOBs and a Troll

How many RR do you start with? Without block that front line will burn through them!

I start with 3 RR, it seems to work fine. 1 Troll, 4 Bobs, 1 Thrower and 5 Linemen, oh and 8 FF.
And I dont have to re-roll very much actually, remember to begin with not very many have block. I on the other hand have very much front loaded strength. So maybe you have some blitzer type with block but you are rolling 1/2 or 1 die while I am rolling 2 and sometimes even 3.
My first purchase (after Apoth) is Blitzers.
Also this team is buildt for development not one time games.

Kaboom, are you just trying to up your post count? I've looked at the majority of your last posts, and they all are something like this:
<something> sucks!
<something> is great!
I like <something>!
Lame.

Damn straight
I just don't see the point of posts that don't somehow contribute to the discussion or further it along. If you are not going to discuss things, you don't belong on a DISCUSSION BOARD

Maybe he's just hiding behind his modest knowledge about english (Remember the Topic "The troll onto languages"? It started with his rather undecipherable post)
