Tournament Dark Elf team

Thanks for your suggestions, but I think I'll try another skill than block on the witch... Just beacuse I don't want to choose the "easy way".

Most teams will be bash teams, form a list of 12 (max 20 teams) there's only 1 skaven, 1 wood elf and 1 high elf.

If there's lots of bash - and you want to use her as a ball carrier you might want to consider Sure Hands - useful against Strip Ball and getting the ball out of TZ.

Lets see, if only 4 games are played 3 skills will be chosen so need to be useful. Eje told me kick should be my first skill because hurts slow teams this can be considered offensive skill wich doesn't improve a player.
Second skill could be leap on a blitzer which could help to blitz the correct player/ballcarrier and equalizes lack of dodge; again offensive skill. Third skill could be tackle, although having a lot of bash teams I think strip ball will be better (if some ST 4 gets the ball, SB increases posibility to make him drop it). Other possibility could be accuray to allow long bombs, wich for me is a defensive skill...

Give at least one of your main players like a Blitzer or a Witch sidestep.
This skill is very powerful and most opponents can't handle with that.

And as for the 3rd skill I will give a player Dirty Player as a skill because its very important to make sure that the key players from your opponent will go from the pitch.

And as a Darkelfplayer you have to foul because you were trained so

Just go for one DP and let him get trained very well

Hey, if I was out to just have fun I would probably do it. Maybe kick on the second skill. It really isn't a bad idea, makes up for all the hard hitters that any other team might field.

I'm probably taking I'd go 4 Blitzers, 7 Line elves, 2TRR, 1 FF to the BB

I was concidering swaping a blitzer for a lineelf and getting FF4 but I think I'll stick with the blitzer

as for skills I'm taking

Line elf - Dirty Player
Blitzer - Dodge
Line elf - Dodge x3

the blitzer is my ball carrier and the dodge players make up my front line (apart from when playing dwarves), you can guess what I use the DP for

I plan on trying the four blitzer roster out at the next tournament I go to, but you really should consider kick as one of your early skill choices it is a great help to the team.

I'm usually lucky with my kicks anyway

What about this:

2 Blitzer
1 Witchelf
1 Thrower
7 Lineman

2 TRR
FF 1

It is more variable and the Witchelf will be very useful

I like that last lineup for a tournament.

Get the bitch elf block and strip ball. Get dirty player and kick on two linefs. Strip ball on one of the blitzers as well.

Most tournaments won't allow you to stack skills on players.

kithor2002 · Post by **kithor2002** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 5:36 am

But due the Witchelf has already Dodge, Jump up, Frenzy she is very powerful even if you give her just one another skill (block or sidestep for example).

Hi guys.
Finally I used this roster:
3 Blitzers
2 witches
6 lineman
1 RR
1 FF

On the skill before first match I choosed Dirty player and believe me, playing with druchii background is great. Second skill leap for the witch; third strip ball other witch and last tackle for a blitzer.
I played 3 of the four matches against orcs, and believe it, I won due outnumbering. I left 5 orks on the pitch on first match (won 2-1) and 3 on the second (won 2-0). Third match I thought my dirty was out (injured) but it wasn't so I didn't foul and received more casualties although won 3-1. Last match I lost against Undead 3-0. I ended third having same tournament poits, difference TD's as the second but I scored 1 TD more than him and he did 4 casualties more than me.
My thoughts: leap us really useful, much more than strip ball. Next time both witches with leap.
