Newbie query on taking actions!

Sorry if this is really obvious!
Do all actions by a player have to be taken in one go? By this I mean should I choose to carry out a blitz, do I have to move and make the block in one go, or can I choose to move, and then carry out the actual blocking action after (for example) moving other players?
In a similar way, can I move a player who has the ball, then with other players move / block etc, and then come back to the ball carrier to attempt a pass - or does the ball carrier have to move and then pass in one go?
(Probably made a simple question sound really complicated there!)
Thanks for any help,
Paul

No, you take the entire action for one player and then the next, so you can't for instance declare a blitz with A, move A, move B and C, and then Block with A.
Hope this helps

Paul,
welcome to TBB!
A player can take one action and one action only in the turn of is team. If I move a player (this is an action), I cannot move that player again until the next teamturn (that would be after your opponents turn!).
All actions are listed in the LRB, they are: Move, Block, Blitz, Pass, Foul and Hand Off.
Note that catching a ball is not an action. If that player did not move before in your team turn, you can still take an action with that player.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for the clarification. Fortunately the match I just played was a friendly - and with a combined age of 66 myself and my opponant still got confused

Welcome to TBB Tormak.. this is called a thread hijack, forget about getting any sane replies from now on...
Don't mind the old farts by the way, they won't be here for much longer anyway

Also don't mind Gorbad too much, an Wood-elf pretending to be an Orc can't live long anyway...
