Hi guys. I recently lost a game with a fireball on my 5 players cage that killed 2 of my guys (a WD and the catcher that had the ball) and KOed another 1. I still think that fireball on the cage was a bad play but I wonder if I'm right.
It was a Skaven vs Wood Elf (me) game and he had 2 ag5 GR so I choose to bite his fireball instead of LBolt with this motivation:
LB is almost guaranteed loose ball and little difficulty in getting it even if cought by 1 of my players (blitz with strip ball), but has almost no chance of injuries
FB only 50% chance of loose ball, in case a chance to have it scatter in a no TZ square, and 75% of 1 KO or CAS injury.
Now the injury chance should be 50% (FB hit)*58%(AV7 armor break with MB)*41%(KO or better)=12% lets say 15% to count MB even in injury roll. 15*5 players =75% chance to have 1 KO or better. Is it right?
And most importantly is it worth for you to pass on a so bigger chance to get the ball to go after a 75% KO or better hope?
I'd like to know what do you think.
