pitch invasion

If i roll a pitch invasion result on the kickoff table and some of the injury results are 'stunned', do these players have to go to the reserves dugout, (like they do when they get stunned after being pushed into the crowd) or do they stay on the pitch, stunned, face down?

Cheers, John

Chaps

I personally don't like this option on the kick-off chart and we banned it from our local league. Instead the team winning the roll gets to choose an alternative from the list. This seems too unbalanced and can spoil an evening's entertainment, especially when you high costing-low supported High Elves have no chance of winning the roll and are already taking casualties from a bunch of cheapy, well loved Orcs. Look forward to being pursuaded otherwise though.

I agree with the last point. I too am sick of Elves being bullied by a load off ugly opposing fans.

I think I will put this rule change to the other coaches in my league to see what they think.

Cheers mate.

I just rolled this in my league game, and luckily we tied the roll, so we each had players get hurt.

This is how it should be anyways... Why not just have each side roll the d6 to see how many of their players are hurt. Why should it only be one team that suffers the pitch invasion? If all players are on the pitch shouldn't they each have an equal chance of being hurt?

I think that being able to pick your own kickoff result is a little unbalanced, maybe getting to re-roll is better.

stunned on the pitch, perfect foul victims

I'm of the opinion it cuts both ways. Whenever I take an elf team I always take the maximum fan factor as a matter of priority. Simply because you can't buy it later in the season.

The possibility of getting get the ref or pitch invasion is not hidden. It's there before you even create your team. When you take a low fan factor you have to be aware that's the risk you are taking. Saying that the result is unfair every time you get caught out is a bit of a cop out.

I took quite a bit of stick for taking a high fan factor for the tulip tournament. I'd lost a tournament before due to 2 back to back pitch invasions in my last two games (6 players then 5 players) and was determined not to let it happen again.

In that tournament I got a first kickoff pitch invasion against Norse - which pretty much sealed me the game - and several get-the-ref results throughout the tournament (I didn't use them to foul, but they point was people couldn't use them to foul me).

The lesson to be learned when you get hit by a pitch invasion is that you should have taken more fan factor, not that you should houserule to remove it from the game.

Let pitch invasion. I play HE, and this is a part of the game.
This is risky but, hey that's BLOODBOWL, and the crowd wants to play sometimes.
