Float like a butterfly, run away like a King

"I done something new for this fight. I wrestled with an alligator. I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning. I thrown thunder in jail,"

Mohammed Ali minutes after destroying hot favourite and top banger George Forman in the legendary Fumbbl in the Jungle Oct 30th 1974

"The fact that Ali beat Forman… well…. no one gave him a chance, but to beat him using a totally unseen tactic was outtta this world". Wild haired used car salesman and boxing promoter Don King said after the game. King was referring to the never before seen tactic of running all of your players away on your drive. "No one knew what to call it, then Ali at the post match interview said it was the 'rope a dope'. George just stared at the board and couldn't believe what was happening. He got so mad by the end of the drive he had lost his mind with rage and spent the first 4 turns of his drive gang fouling a wardancer (two stuns and a sending off). All the time shouting 'F%*k#!g Comedy mega dicing' every time Ali failed to roll a 1."

Ali had used what we now call the withdrawn offence for the first time on record, drawing Formans filthy mighty blow laden dwarves on to his wood elves, leaving them out of position and then blowing past them up the sidelines for the score.

The last word on this, the most iconic of blood bowl matches goes to the potty mouthed Forman, when asked on this thoughts on match he replied bluntly 'The F#*k%r ran away, that ain't no blood bowl.'


Are you new to bloodbowl and don't have a clue what any of that is all about?
Do you want to know your withdrawn offences from your turn 5 panic?
Have you played a bit but still don't feel like your getting anywhere?
Do you shout 'F%*k#!g Comedy mega dicing' at the screen every time you play?

Sounds like you need the 145, Fumbbl's learning league where you can ask any question at all about blood bowl, play people who are also new and learning, and most of all have some fun :)

experienced coaches we need you too come along and help out

Been there, learned at lot(and still ask questions to learn even more). Highly recommend... even if I still talk to the screen. ;-) And happy to help out with quick fixes on basic questions to free the resources of really experienced coaches for the advanced puzzles.
