Either of the first two should work, depends on how u play them. I would not do the ttm against them, if he dont land well your sunk because of their superior speed.

Is this a long term team? I'd build very differently for a 10 game season as opposed to an indefinate length of time.

Orc Blitzers are the best player on the roster. You absolutely need to get 4 asap.

However BOBs take ages to develop, so I'd be tempted to bring them in earlier so they start getting SPPs as quickly as possible.

Orcs don't need Ogres or Trolls. They are a luxury you can add in later.

BTW - with 2 TRR I'd get up to 13 players then buy a couple of TRRs. You will need them.

In a league that long-term, go for your BOBs early. In my experience, by the time you're working toward your third skill with BOBs, they're getting nicked up or killed. You can never develop them too early, and MVPs are (sadly) critical to advancing them. In addition, mine always take a beating (unlike the Blitzers), and so tend to be shoter-lived.

Agree. You don't need an ogre. If you take goblins in your team, then ogre can be useful and fun. With TTM you can make a touchdown in only 1 round, what a great feeling to score in your last round :)

Just adding my agreement to Ians' points. BOB's are a must buy from the start as are the blitzers. BO's because they take an eternity to develop but get very good and blitzers because they are so damn good. Get a Troll or an Ogre at the end. As I have also posted in other threads, and like Ian, I feel they are a luxury which a good running team like the Orcs can view as an iceing on the cake. Just be patient with these thugs, they come good in the end.
