One thing I really don't like about this version we're playing is the star players. Much ink gets spilled over Griff, Hakflem, and Morg, but my Orcs, if I'm facing a team that could induce Bommer, including with petty cash, that pretty much obligates me to take Bommer out of self preservation. If they didn't take Bommer, now I have the machinegun, hohoho. (Okay, he said, "now I have a machinegun too," but I had to make it fit.)

It's funny when Goblins do it. But otherwise, if you don't like your football games being taken over by explosions, tough. At least Griff is a damn football player, amirite?

I don't understand the bit about TV + Treasury. I mean, if you're gonna hide somebody if they splash more than 40k, that's one thing. But teams with large treasuries probably have those treasuries precisely because they're not the big splasher type. Also note that the redraft rules mean that a 15-game-old team needs 200k in treasury, minus 10k per win and 5k per tie; that's 125k if you break even. If they do badly against you and score no TDs, that break-even team needs to squirrel away about 75k to be assured of having 1350k for redraft. True, redraft hasn't been implemented, but there's a fair number of coaches keeping it to 15 games per team to stay in the spirit.


Ah, but how do you know that they won't splash the cash this time?

About MNG players, I'd like to have this rule: the MNG players replaced by Loner Rookies of the same position for free (not just Linemen, the positionals as well).


I like this idea a lot. I would even go a little further and suggest that a team with 12 players should get more than up to 11 replacement loners for its next match.

This would reduce the likeliness of downward spirals and makes the game both more fun and more fair.

It doesn't to be "for free", but it must be cheap as it aim to help maintaining bashed teams afloat.

in the same idea, injured players with reduced caracteristic might also increase TV a little less.

About my idea: if Loner positionals could be considered too good, they could be Loner 5+, instead of 4+. This way you would have to use them with more caution.
So, a rostered Human Ogre would be Loner 4+, while a Journeyman Loner Human Ogre would be Loner 5+.
This would make the Journeyman Ogre worse.

Maybe I'm not getting the rules. I thought that you only got prayers to Nuffle.

maybe I misread

if you hire bomma as a counter to them hiring bommer and they do, neither gets him

if you do the above and they don't hire him, you get bomma!

kaboom!

So, I've had to spend cash just in case they spend cash which they might not.

I think I se Matt's point.

cash is meaningless in C

also, bomma is overblown by anecdotal evidence

The problem is: not every team can hire Bomber.

Thanks for the useful information (I knew about the Indian origin of Chess, by the way), but here we are talking about Blood Bowl, and I wanted to point out that hiring Bomber to counter Bomber is not available to every team.

This was the first time I talked about hiring Bomber as not valid counter-measure to Bomber himself, to be accurate, not the hundredth time.
Weird that a Mathematics Professor can't properly count.

it's the hundredth time (<-figure of speech) you've whined about bomber, that's what I meant, but I know you're very literal minded

not a Professor, though, not in the english language, at least, because that title is reserved for some university lecturers in the language of the Bard

what's your job, by the way?

since you know mine, and like to blab about it in public every chance you get, it's only fair you share Smile
