The restriction of gen access is ultimately to allow Ogres to enter the mainstream. Which begs the question why let them come in if they're going to upset BG's playing everywhere else?? Is it impossible in terms of mechanics to let BG's in the Stunty Leeg have there precious Block back on normals? Other wise, Stunty Leeg could become so farsical as to petre out and die (to shouts of applause from some, i know). Bring back Gen acces for BG's in Stunty Leeg. NOW!!! |

I don't think it's about the Ogre team, it's about Big Guys being too good in general (which they are). If anything, this hurts Big Guys worse in normal matches (where the big guys tend to throw the now very unreliable two-dice blocks) than in Stunty (where you get your relatively safe three-dicers almost all the time anyway).

You gotta love it though when three skulls comes up, ahhh now thats funny , and then to make it worse the big guy goes down and dies. Those are the moments you live to see in stunty, and yes they happen. |

I have been tempted to get into Stunty Leeg in the past, but having spectated a few games I was put off - the onus appeared to be annihilation every time, with the ball utterly ignored. Stunty should be about wacky, high-risk manoevres, stuff you wouldn't dream of trying in Ranked division. One thing I noticed that wasn't being tried was TTM, which is at the very heart of what Stunty teams are about. There is an art to doing it right.
A 3db with Block, Tackle and Mighty Blow against av6 with +1 to injury hardly seems risky to me.
The Poll seems to indicate a 50:50 split in opinion - there appears to be no clear majority on this issue. |

No matter where majority is Im goin to stop stupid things from happening.
For the zillionth time: ppl who would like to have general-skill-on-big-guys free stunty leeg should do some major playtesting on that. Before this is done, you are not goin to see it happening. |

Oh thank god, general skills are still in?? Whew i thought they were out. Good show! And johan: Granted they removed general skills from BG's to make them a less inevitable choice for a normal team, but i don't believe they would have ever tried to do that without an incentive of another sort, namely the introduction of Ogres. So effectively its the introduction of Ogres that brought the whole removal of BG general skills access. Personally negative traits and the Big Guy trait especially handicaps them more than enough. Why do those BBRC boys keep fixing things when they're not broken! I know i'll get a barrage of critisism, but i don't care. Rule fiddling is getting so boring. Lets leave it how it bloody well is! Hmm what was the topic again?!?

What do you call all of those TR100 Stunty Leeg games? What do you call all those games between 6 of the 13 teams that don't have BGs?

I would not call call idea for whole league playtested after some tr100 games. And I would not again call idea of non-general-access-big guys playtested looking of teams without big guys playing. |

It doesnt change anything even if there were million tr100 games played. Still it would not be tested in older teams and higher team ratings. |

I voted for the second option. Clearly the best choice it was. |
