to be honest, I dunno if that would really work with vamps, - remember you might lose a lot of player advantage with you're ofab. it might allow you to equalize, but i don't think you'll be able to dominate with it like an orc or dwarf team could. |

A foul war isn't the best idea for vampires. The opponent will foul the Av8 vamps out. Regenerate will bring some of them back, though.
To get rid of threats like wardancers or gutter runners, fouling is a reliable method. |

Stripp ball could be fun a s a single skill on a vamp. But dodge is always the best for when you fail the OFAB. |

Strip ball to thrall before vamp i'd say. Even with -2d it makes a decent ball stealing skill in combination with rr and gazed cage.
I think my first two skills would be block (vamp), dp thrall (especially since you play by LRB4 no?) |

i Think chaos dwarf would look good in this kinda turnament... they only need normal skill rolls to dominate and they should be rdy to dominate from the start...

umm dosent the fact that your players most likely to be fouled are the players that are most likely to survive it make it a good tactic ?
you have the classic cheap linos and good main players with regenerate , thats pretty much ideal for fouling . like maybe khemri/undead shouldnt get in a foul war because your opponent will try to foul out your mummys ? |

Khemri and Undead won't suffer as much from loosing a mummy/ghoul as Vampires from loosing a vampire. They have more specialists.
btw: the experience with fouling was the reason for the 4th vampire, since the sent off thralls are less problem than the lost vamps. |

on tournament with early trait, I usually pick leader to start with more positionals
of course one DP is always good |

But all players are there in the next game anyway, so a foul war doesn't make sense. Getting lots of DP won't win you the tourney and won't even ensure that your opponent loses the tourney, so I would say 1-2 DPs is a good "investmen", going for more than 2 and ignoring other essential skills is silly, though. |

yer more than 2 is rediculous
probably stick to the lineup in the first post and ignore leader |
