Except that my linerats are cheaper than whatever my RatOgre is pounding on. Remember that the RO has the same strength as your ogre, but adds frenzy to mix for additional mayhem!

And remember, my goal is to trade linerats for turnovers. They're cheap and worth feeding to the ogre if my RO can get me the ball. Skaven are probably the best team in the game for scoring off of turnovers.

If my RO is in that bad a position, then I'm not a very good coach. I never said this was a tactic without risk, just that the risk is worthwhile. Honestly, as a skaven coach, I'd LOVE for the game to open up and get risky - it's more likely that I can pull you into a mistake which equals a quick GR touchdown.

Open Games!!

Amen to that! I love a game to open up cos thats when a skavens speed really comes into its own! Getting bogged down on the LOS is a fast way to a beaten up team and early retirement!!

As for the Rat Ogre I also agree. If your rolling 2 dice blocks and your opponent is choosing you are doing something very wrong indeed!!
