TTM hand-offs

[plasmoid]

Hi all,
I'd like to suggest a house rule to you. We've used it here for many seasons, and it is great fun. Quite simply, the rule allows a TTM player to "hand-off" a right stuff player.
The action still eats up the teams "hand-off" action for the turn, and the little player must be lifted from a square adjacent to the big guy, and put down in a square adjacent to the big guy.

As with any hand-off, you do not roll to "pass", but you still have to roll to catch/land.

The rule allows goblin and halfling teams to make some particularly sneaky plays, giving the teams a tiny helping hand.

I like it, I am going to suggest it in our league

This begs a question that I have never thought of...

Can a Troll on a Goblin team pick up a goblin... hand him off to another troll... who then makes the TTM?

That could get interesting...

I'd allow it only if Really Hungry still applied...

[Pardus]

define how it would work systemwise...

Hi tchatter,
note that trolls are never actually carrying the goblins around.
A TTM pass is made with a troll standing next to a standing goblin.

So, to answer your question: Yes, one troll could make a hand-off (moving the goblin up to 2 squares forward), and then the second troll could throw him.
(This would ofcourse use up the teams hand off action and passing action for the turn).

And, I figure that Always Hungry would still apply.

The rule allows you to pull off some really neat tricks. Unfortunately, the neatest ones requires your goblin to land in a TZ, so that's a 4+ just to get the play off the ground.

Cheers
Martin

but since the failed landing doesn't make a turnover it's a limited risk fun thing

hmmm... i'll put it to my leauge...
but as i am the only one who plays Rightstuffers... they will quite rightly assume i'm trying to work an advantage.

Good luck with the 5+ hand-off roll from one Troll to the other...
