well according to some folk in power wild animal is changing to roll a 2+ to block foul blitz and 4+ for everything else... id like to know if anybody has any idea when this is being made official and when we can have it on our glorious site!  <dreams of minos in stunty> |

I'm quite happy with my RSC, block, tentacles Mino. I think I'll go for a Jump Up, so he can block even when on the floor.
I thought new WA rules would have really ruined him, but he turned up to be really useful in my last game.
And last, but not least at all.... why should I need horns in my mino if he will not blitz at all anyway?
Really weirdo acting from GW |

My issue isn't with the rule, but with the help page for this league that doesn't reflect the existing rule... People should know what they are buying. |

1. orenji (minos cant have Jump up its an AG Trait)
2. WA's are still the only (wait no beasts can to) Big guys who can access physical skills this can give them they ability to destroy an opponent team extremely quickly
3. They are still useful you just have to position them right (and maybe a little luck when they get knocked down) |

orenji: Well.. to get those tentacles plus rsc you need a whole lotta luck early on. It aint hard to avoid the WA after the LOS is "resolved". Then he can very well stand around for a few rounds and that wont get him any skill rolls 
And I agree that it would be nice if the WA rule fumbbl use actually was on the site or in the LRB |

FUMMBL uses the currently official LRB wild animal rule, just like it should. |

A nice tactic in a chaos dwarf side is to set up your WA minotaur in the middle of the LOS on a kick off (where else would it go) and place a bull centaur behind him. If the other team avoids yor WA, then your bull centaur has easy access to the opponents half of the field, especially on a blitz. Similar tactics for skaven are obvious.
WA can create some interesting tactics if you think about it a bit. |

But having ppl avoiding the WA aint special for WA ya know. Ppl usualy avoid Trees and other big bad big guys as well. At least in the early games before many has block/guard and such |

I can remember the early BB (1st/2nd) when chainsaws did extra damage to trees and skeletons wouldn't regen from werewolf attacks (they take the bones you see).
Those were the days, far more complicated but more fun. |

All you have to know is that fumbbl is LRB compliant (well, in open) and you are expected to keep track of the rules on your own.. imho none of the reference stuff should be there except where it pertains to items not covered in the LRB and BBRC RR. |

Well, fumbbl is mostly LRB-compliant. Almost all of the exceptions are covered in the readme files. |

Still liked the old rule a lot more, but 2+ to block and blitz makes them playable. Now i can take my most beloved death engines back out for a spin even if it isn't like the good old days. |

And lastly it seems like there is a possibility that the 2+ for foul will be removed |
The 2+ to foul WILL be removed, I've been told so directly by one of the BBRC guys. It will be 2+ to block or blitz, 4+ for everything else. |
