Looking for amazon help and resources

Just recieved a draft for an amazon playbook.

Will post 2nd draft here after the weekend

Blitzers 2x guard then SF then MB etc

Noob question but why not Fend rather than SF?
If someone has 2 dice block on you, they are likely to have an assist who can try a second block with SF, whereas Fend might prevent it. It stops the pile on and Frenzy which amazon should hate

Because pushing you opens up assists on your mate and not pushing you leaves you free to assist and counterblock on your own turn, and because the SPP system and the block/AV/injury rules render holding your ground broadly more important than keeping your players safe. It is nice to have a Wrend Lina and a DP Lina on hand to hold down the PO/Frenzy guy, but the key to keeping your Guard Blitzer clean is to put her in places where she's able to assist, not subject to easy blocks and not worth the hazard in blitzing. Stand Firm is important in all three.

the blitzer is now AV6 ?

Bin her she is 110k of tv bloat who will be targeted for death. I accept 1-mv but anything else and your gone.
The girls are cheap and cookie cutter use em and lose em

This. That's not at all my philosophy with most teams, but any stat loss on an Amazon is killer, and the players are all cheap. Even -1MA is a big deal except on a Blitzer. You can take -1MA, -1AG, -1AV or a niggle on your last rookie lina (you know, the one on the bench) until you have the cash to replace and still keep some savings.

You really think so but I worked so hard to get that guard..... oh well in the bin she goes
Guess I will have to play the next game with only 1 guard piece but 6 blodgers.

[Heff]

yes I really think so. more guard will come. Binned a sure hands, strong arm accurate thrower cos of a second -mv. That hurt but she was too damn slow

You could have GIF for 2 extra squares or handed off then thrown

I hope that doesn't happen to me any time soon.
I had to use my apothecary in that match to reduce it from a dead to a -Av
Oh well that how life goes when you play vs a norse player who just wants to hit things. He wasnt willing to attempt a pick up without the rerolls he wasted on rubbish blocks and was hoping to clear a hole for that final run through. Thank god for his lack of dodge otherwise he may have scored at least once

Strange enough though,I was throwing at least a couple blocks a turn myself and still only got 1 result above a stun (ko'ed the snow troll).

Was a good game though on both sides, for Henry it was his first game ever and he learnt a lot and for me it was a good learning experiance on how to deal with the last leagues winners norse.



By the way Andy the winner of our last league has the strangest development plan for his new norse, frenzy on every player that doesn't have it first and foremost and then blockl on all pieces without block and mighty blow all round.

That going to open up some nice wide scoring lanes for me
