New Skill Articles

[Coach]

By demand I've finally done an article covering the use of Frenzy

Frenzy | Blood Bowl Tactics

 

[Narly Bird]

Nice one coach.

 

[Gallows Bait]

Good stuff coach. The only other draw back I would highlight for Frenzy is the risk that comes with needing extra movement if it takes a player into using a GFI, which itself can cause trouble.

Other than that there's just two typos I spotted - it uses "hardness" where "harness" was meant and "reserve" where "reverse" was meant.

 

[Coach]

Good spot and I forgot about mentioning the GFI, I'll sort that out in a bit.

EDIT: updated the article now. Added info about using up your movement and Go For Its to avoid a second block as well when blitzing.

 

[Gallows Bait]

Great stuff Coach

 

[Deluge]

Not bad at all ^^

I can't see it mentioning anywhere in there that you don't get spp from injurying players you've surfed, is that a given fact?

 

[Coach]

It is a fact, it is written in the rulebook! Fouling doesn't either.

 

[Spartakus]

Nice article Coach.

Maybe i'm quibbling but i think this formulation can be confusing :

Not to mention players pushed into the crowd automatically take an injury without an armour roll

A stun result is considered as injury by the rules, but it's not like a KO or an "real" injury in most minds i think.
Maybe something like that is more understandable :
"...automatically rolls dices for injury without an armour roll".

Anyway, great job again !

 

[Coach]

It's only confusing if you haven't read the rule book but I understand your point.


I've also just added a new Sprint article where I stress I wouldn't take it. Sprint | Blood Bowl Tactics

 

[Lebe666]

While you are at it... take out guard as first choice on doubles for Necromantic Werewolves... MB is a way better choice. Guard being quite common for wights and Flesh Golems.

Great articles.

An article on Pass Block would be awsome too. It is such an incendiary topic in most forums that even if a marginal skill it may be worth to have your take in it, Coach.

I ve always been a big supporter of Pass Block, even if my actual experience with it in OCC so far cant quite support the choice

 

[Lebe666]

Pass Block must be the least chosen skill... and with good reason...

 

[Coach]

I've got a long to do list, will get around to it eventually

I thought that was thick skull.

 

[Lebe666]

I thought that was thick skull.

I've seen a noob pick Thick Skull several times in the same team... makes it more frequent than Pass Block

[Tjorne]

I see there are three shiny new articles on the main page. Thats great!

 

[Coach]

Yeah thanks to Skip for writing those
