Post subject: kick off table?

Having owned blood bowl v3 since it first came out i have been playing using the playcards included, for things like kick off table, passing modifiers etc.

It has just came to my attention that the kick off table in the newest LRB has a couple of things in a different order. I was just wondering if this really makes any difference, and if so, why?

another thing - can re-rolls be used on a 'BLITZ!!' turn. we werent sure as yu have a maximum of 8 because there are 8 turns.

thanks in advance

Yes re-rolls can be used in a Blitz, but only one just as if it were any other turn.

Yes the order in the kick-off table does make a difference. The more drastic results (like Blitz) have been moved to a position where they are less likely to occur. But really, if your league wants to use the old order, it really doesn't matter as long as everybody is happy with it. That's up to your commish.

You have probably already noticed, but some of the kick-off table results have changed slightly. But again, use the old or the new, whatever your league likes to do.

And yes, you can use re-rolls on a "BLITZ! result" turn.

FYI - Just to spice things up, some tourneys will create custom kickoff charts just for their tourney. They're usually pretty similar in the results (anything too drastic could throw things off). But they're usually fun and sometimes quite funny.

had a look some of the links werent working properly, the boat pitch seems really cool, and i like the differing weather conditions on some pitches too.

we had a game tonight and decided to still just use the card, although i could possibly print off the 1 page from the pdf that we need to update ourselves. blitz is still a 10, and the things that move only swap one place, so nothing is majorly different.

The order on the kick off table is very important. "2" only occurs 1/36, "7" occurs 6/36 - and "12" 1/36 as well. So the closer to the middle the more frequent the result.
