I'm very curious how such a WE roster would do in a tournament.

Not much would be my guess
Why play WE without catchers or wardancers?

The Skaven are interesting but I think the HE roster looks most promising.

For good development of your team in a league setting. In a tournament? I don't think it will work. I'd still like to see a quantification of how a WE team like this would do in tourney, ie a ranking.

with that skaven roster i played 3 Turnaments i got 1st 2nd and 3rd
with the HE roster i played one turnament and got 9th

with the woodelf roster i would be perhaps better with
10 lineman 1 catcher 4 rerolls 1 ff

I think the hardest TR100 WE roster to play against is:

2 War Dancers
1 Catcher
8 Linemen
2 RR
1 FF(?)

Basically bashing teams aren't worried by you without War Dancers.

For the skavs I'd like to have a SV - just because Block is so handy from blitzing ghouls etc.

My normal Orc roster is
4 BOBs
3 Blitzers
1 Thrower
2 Goblins
2 Line orcs
3 RR
1 FF

IMO the thrower is worthwhile (I know absent disagrees

) and I like running a goblins too. Apart from Dwarves most teams find them very annoying - and they've won me more than one game.

I can see that skaven line-up work pretty well. You will have block and surehands pretty fast. But Ian has a point. It will have some trouble taking down players with dodge. Imagine playing amazons the first match...
As for the WE, I am of the opinion that catchers not wardancers are match winners at tournaments. (Although you need at least 1 WD) So I would probably swap 1 wardancer for 2 catchers in 100 TR, or go the route Gorbad went at the Eurobowl and leave your rerolls at home, but have 2 wardancers and 4 catchers. Playing without rerolls requires a different frame of mind, but it is feasable.

i think with one reroll you will get problems with if you get bad luck

so i perfer 3 or 4 rerolls
with 3 rerolls you can have 3 catcher 8 lineman 2 ff
with 4 rerolls you can have 1 catcher 10 lineman

perhaps the first set up ist better than the second

I'm pretty sure Gorbad HAS that, or any other frame of mind

I voted for your WE setup because I would like to know how you would perform with that team

I voted wood elfes because when I met him he should have the crappiest setup as possible!

Go for 13 Lineman and spend the last re-roll on Assistant coaches...please.

Aramil · Post by **Aramil** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 1:37 pm

I normally play Wood Elf with 2 WD, 3 Catcher, 6 Linelf, 1 RR, 2 FF

That's the only possible TR100 Tournament roster, in my point of view, with my playing style.

I NEED the 5 Dodges to play... it's my preaciuss skill... I need it! [Gollum style]

Ok, I voted for the WE roster for the same reason of the other... I want to see how would it do!

i love players with dogde as well
