Double on a rookie Hobgoblin

Cool Hand Fluke · Post by **Cool Hand Fluke** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 6:28 am

Normally i would take dodge. But, this is for a final against Skaven (although the league does continue after). We use Star Players in our league and my opp. has Headsplitta.

We also use the experimental kicking rules, so i'm thinking Dirty Kicker (kicks em in the 'nads/auto stun on a POW - ignore strength)

So, one eye on development on the Hobgob or a specific tactic to try to nullify the big fella?

I have the full 6 CDs, 2 BCs no Big Guy/Star Player. I think he'll have 3 GRs.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

I would choose dodge and this thread should be in tactics not skill questions ;]

Surely pass - it's your only chance at a throwing play!

Yeah i would have taken pass and rather taken dauntless on a dwarf instead.

Dauntless is something i would rather take on a hob, more movement and ag for dodging, better chance of getting to use it more than just on the los at kick off.

Well i dont like it because if it dont work that hobgobbo is dead meat.
But its just my opinion.
IBloodbowl would be pretty boring if everyone took all the same skills on the players wouldn´t it

Going with Dodge as a running game is more my thing (although if i had a BC with Catch ....

)

Thanks to all

Dodge is nice but I'd take pass. But hey, its your team, mate

CD/BCs don't catch the ball, they pound and splat and bash and .....

Still not sure which way to go. I have a Hob with Sure Hands (now i'd give him Pass).

As someone who plays Chaos Dwarves on occasion I've found Pass to be the most useful. It gives your team another dimension and saves on using a reroll for passing. I have a hobgoblin with Pass, Block, Sure Hands, and Strip ball. Sure, he only has about four completions in two seasons, but all of those completions have been game savers!
