Yep they will get pulped anyway so get a player that can win games. Each win gives extra 10k - look at it as good investment in the future.

Any team ANY will be able to beat up a wood elf side- so they will probably try to make it a feature in their game plan. Thus recovery is only possible via control of the ball and games - little to do with how you line up your scrimage line.

Elf linemen

Post by Billster »

I'd have got two linemen like you went for and saved like you did so you're not alone. As for Chaos Dwarves, you can foul his players back, and you're alot faster than him so could just play damage limitation, if you think you're going to come up against the problem again get "dirty player" and just jump his players whenever they are down, much as you don't want to start a foul war, you should be able to finish it! :wink:

juck's right, i play wood elves and eveyone tries to mangle you from the off, Even with a treeman on the line you'll still attract plenty of attention with your linemen, once those guys are down even your treeman becomes vulnerable, and if he does go down he's going to be a foul magnet! Wood elf linemen are also better catchers than most teams have anyway so at least they can play!!

I do consider myself a good woodelf coach JJB, in fact im primarily a woodelf coach, coaching my fumbbl highelves feels like leaving the Porsche in the garage and taking the ford (metaphorically speaking, I newer had a Porsche ;) ). And I do play a fast game with them trying to catch bashers flat footed, and leaving them 1 blitz pr. turn untill I strike.

The problem with trees, IMO, is its mental effekt on the opponent. Like oneturners, treemen increasese the number of fouls you opponents are going to take against you, and I dont have the players to support him. I will buy one though, but not yet.

Ok, so far Ive played 3 games, skaven, chaos dwarves and orcs, won 2 and drawed 1. vs skaven and orcs I was ok healing a niggling in both games, the chaos dwarf game was f...... though. First block = kill = no apoth for the rest of the game. I quickly had a lead of 2-0 in their half, and they decided they could neither winn nor draw, and whantet to have fun with fouls instead. Didnt make much sense, since I have dp and they didnt, but sense doesnt allways prevail. I did foul back with my dirty player, but he only made a bh and kod's.

Final score: 3-1, cas 1-6, kills 0-3 :( On top of that, my new catcher aged a niggling on hes second skill roll. The dead players was a rookie lineman and a lineman with block guard and -av. Now I have 10 players, 2 nigglings, 30 k and fouling goblins in the next game.
