Funny enough, Fischerking convinced me in that (pretty accurate) elf strategy post that you should start with SH, even though he's in the Dodge camp. I was already sort of thinking the same thing: elf offense is easy, but bad things happen when it doesn't work. So no matter what, don't fail to pick up the ball!
Therefore, take Sure Hands.
Offensive Thrower, Defensive Thrower... with that skill, it doesn't matter. Next, take Dodge or Leap. Then you can call him the "defensive Thrower."
2nd skill on an ag5 high elf thrower?

So, use Sure Hands, pick up the ball, run like a scalded dog, throw it 6 or 7 squares, run some more, hand off, run some more. Score. Simple.
Now repeat 4 times.

LOL!
At least my post had an impact, though it persuaded you against my favorite choice of skill
Sure hands is good yes, and it makes him kindoff a half offensive half defensive thrower. What my point was with the offensive skillchoice thing was to take accurate, or dodge as the defensive choice that I also see as a good option. Im sure sure hands is also a good choice 
Allways limit dicerolls, I agree, but only the dicerolls were the turnover will be bad and those who has no obvoius gain. I play very different when I play defense from when I play offense. In the offense I totally play as you say, limiting the risks as much as possible. In the defense I play towards a turnover, but a turnover on one of the last players I use. I do the really important stuff and the free stuff first, and then I keep doing things that will make my possition better untill I suffer a turnover. That way, and because I dont believe in too much elf stalling and play defense for the most turns of a game (as a turnover when you stall is pretty bad and you had to stall by dodging, not by blocking as the basher teams) I roll alot of ag dice.
Its hard for me to say precisely how many dicerolls you would make in a game against a good orc coach, as its so rare you find a game against good orc coaches
But the aim of the elf coach should be to force as many ag rolls of the orcs as possible, and the aim of the orcs should be to keep it at as few as possible while giving the elves lots.
Basicly I think we agree on how to play this matchup

That's very unfortunate. Orc teams played well can have a lot of character.FischerKing wrote:Its hard for me to say precisely how many dicerolls you would make in a game against a good orc coach, as its so rare you find a game against good orc coaches

FischerKing might have a different perspective on "good" orc coaches as he is one of the highest ranked Wood Elf coaches in the world.mattgslater wrote:That's very unfortunate.
