Re: Mad Jackal.
Just for the sake of the argument. Im quoteing the 2007 Blood Bowl Rules Comittee Rules Review, which states the following (note, they are experimental, so I dont know if your league allows the rules or not - but we do were I play
:
"The normal limits on the total number of players allowed in each position do apply to Mercenaries (so
they aren't truly unlimited); however they may take your team to more than 16 players for the current game. However, players that are
missing the game due to injury do not count towards the number of players on the team, so you can use Mercenaries to replace players
that are missing a game if you wish."
what It says is that:
1) mercenaries can take the number on a team above 16
2) mercenaries cannot add more positionals then allowed on the team in the first place, meaning that on a Skaven team for instance, you cannot have 5 gutterrunners or 3 blitzers
3) the exception to the above is, that if one of your positionals is missing the game due to injury you can hire a merc. in his position, meaning that if one of your gutterrunners is missing the game you can hire a merc. GR.
And in the next paragraph on starplayers:
"Star Players may
take the number of players in the team to more than 16."
So if you play with the new rules you can have 16 permanent players and add up to two starplayers and as many mercenaries on the different positions as allowed on the team.
All this doesnt change my point about players on the team though
I cant see my self having more the 14 in the first place due to TV.
]), but for "normal" teams, a 13-14 man roster is probably best.
