This "orgy of colors with childish images" rulebook is really not my cup of tea or tankard of Bloodweiser...
But well, it's maybe because i'm aging... |

Interception has been altered in the passing sequence and fumbles from the passing player only occur on a natural one.
Yep, looks like they are really trying to make passing that much less risky. Interesting to see how the teams are going to be balanced out. |

Looks like AV has gone up across the board. |

How many mistakes do people think will be in it? |

Looks like it's a new take on the Human roster. Remember the Nobles-roster from the 2016 app.?
Also the other team looks orcish. But not straight up orcs. A troll and maybe goblins are also on the 'new pitch' photo. I'm thinking an Orc Big 'Uns inspired roster. |

8+ is the same as AV 7 because you need to roll above an AV value to break armor |

I can see the need at times over the years to refine certain aspects of the game ie change or modification of the rule for example Pile On
So not sure if this is a radical overhaul (again) but why do the plebs in GW want to reinvent the wheel again and again and again |
Money. |

Yeah well at some point the community might just decide to ditch GW and do their own retro-clone game. It's basically already there, the pitches, the minis etc., just need someone to write up a rulebook carefully avoiding proprietary stuff.
But hey, maybe GW will surprise me by producing a really well-baked new rules edition that everybody can get behind, and publishing it all in one go so players can actually start playing all of it... |

Jesus monkey balls, what a load of old bollocks!
passing? that's so 1990s!
with running pass, can you throw to an empty square, dodge through, and catch it yourself? now that would be the best. |

The impact on adding the PA stat is that it makes Throwers viable in team rosters. Why have a Skaven Thrower when a GR can do the same (with better MA). Sure, Throwers get leader and Accurate etc, but the reality is that the game is a running game and Throwers are a rare breed.
With this change, they become more powerful and with the added skills, a Long passing game becomes a bit more open to more teams rather than just High Elves and Pro Elves.
If a Human Thrower is throwing on a 2+ and a Norse Thrower the same... the game changes dramatically to a closer to NFL style Quarterback style game.
The running game still works, but you now need to defend against decent passing options as well. |

And more importantly, if these new rules (such as Running Pass) are real, how does fumbbl work? I am not a coder, so is anything in the leak "uncodeable" in fumbbl?? |

Well, on BB1 you could pass to yourself and get the SPP. |

Looks like there are different levels of loner, I can see 3+, 4+ and 5+.
They might have brought back levels of bashing skills too. It appears that both Mighty Blow and Dirty Player have a +1. So maybe you can take it a 2nd time and get +2?
Oh yeah, 5k splits of player prices as well now. |
