New player questions

Post by hendybadger »

just a couple of questions as im starting to play BB for the first time

in the FAQ in LRB5 it mentions pass blockers. what are they?

can a blitz move include picking up the ball?

can you block/tackle with the ball?

im sure there will be more questions as i play more but thats its for now

Its a skill. Like "Block", "Sure Hands", "Pass" or "Catch".
You'll find it in the skills section of the LRB.

As for the other questions, its yes to both.

pass blockers are players who are moving using the pass block skill

picking up the ball isn't an action so you can do it as part of a blitz action if you so wish

you can block using the player holding the ball if you want

But you're more likely to roll skulls that way (not according to probability, but from experience...).

Your more likely to roll skulls if your login name is Darkson. Or a few others names like mine.

If at first one doesn't succeed, and doesn't try again, then he will never succeed.
