I can't get past those two blitzers...
What do you mean? HMP on a Blitzer is the pro's choic....

No sorry, I can't get it out.
I have no idea why that would be first choice on a blitzer.

I have been trying to help my fellow players with some advice from my own limited experience but they are determined to go their own way. The other Orc team in the semi's has a blitzer who recently got his first skill and was given Kick which would not necessairly have been my first choice!

Kick is a much better choice than HMP.

HMP is good on a Biltzer for grabbing the ball from deep in your own half and throwing it deep into your opponents half for the other blitzers to grab as you tie up the defence in the middle with BOB's and lino's.

Not saying it would've been one of my choices either, but it does make a certain amount of sense on what is quite a slow moving team.

Kick I understand. HMP I do not. If you're going to go HMP, don't waste doubles on a Blitzer: take a second Thrower and get HMP/SH, with Pass as an option if HMP doesn't seem wise. If the MA is a problem, get KoR instead, and forget about HMP until you're really ready for it.

HMP is a good skill for Dwarf Runners sometimes, as a counter to Kick. Against depleted or Frenzy-feary defenses, you can even get the ball into a deep cage from the other side of the backfield, and you can put the Runner into the center of your backfield, so he doesn't get taken out of the action if the ball scatters toward the middle.
