Developement of my Orc Team

Greetings members !
After five games my Orc Team makes his way very well.
Haven't lost a player yet and filling my line-up step by step. So I'm thinking hardly which player to buy next...

Here's my current line-up:
4x Black Orc
3x Blitzer
4x Line Orc
1x Thrower
1x Troll Rookie
1x Goblin

What is more useful l?
A forth blitzer or a second thrower ???

Cheers !
Stefan

you'll want to buy both eventually, but I'd get the blitzer first. Anytime you can field something OTHER than a line orc, it's a good thing.

I agree, save the back up thrower for next player, get the blitzer now

Without a doubt. I am not even convinced you need a second thrower.

they're nice to have. oftentimes you can make one an "offensive" thrower, and the other a "defensive" thrower. You can also use both throwers on offense, since their movement is only 5 having 2 guys back who can both pick up and throw the ball is nice...especially if the opponent has a guy with kick.

Not to mention that having just one of something is guaranteed to make that one a target.

Thanks for your many useful suggestions.
I think I will buy the Blitzer next and the Thrower later.

Then I could enter the pitch witch following strating 11:
Troll, Gobbo, 4x Black Orc, 4x Blitzer, 1x Thrower

Sounds nice I think.

So long...

A lot depends on who you are playing. Against a S3 team you'd be better off with some line orcs than unskilled BOBs. MA 4 is very slow, and your team needs more speed. Also the AG is useful.

You do need a 2nd thrower, just because the 1st one is such a target. With 2 he's less of a target, and you have backup if he gets KOd or injured.
