I know getting diced is a thing in Blood Bowl, lol. Having said that, one of you mathmagicians, what are the odds of 3 straight Blitzes for your opponent on the kickoff table? I'm just curious.

1/1728. 3 chances to roll a 10 on 2d6, out of 36, is 1 in 12. Cube that, 1 in 1728.

Technically the odds that it happened to you is 100% since it happened Smile

I'm pretty sure that 3 blitzes happened in a Major final. It might not have been in a row though.

That was back when you could move all players.

Anyone remember?
Hoping that it was not so long ago that there is no replay.

If you are suffering 3 Blitzes maybe you are not stalling enough, by the way.

If they score from the blitz!, they get another blitz!, score from that for the 3rd.

Also it's really only 1 in 144, as the first one is 100% gunna happen at some point.

Every gross of blitz! kickoffs is a triple, if they happen early enough to get the other two.
