Hi there,
What would you do if you were to play a human team with Ogre St 6 and two Blitzers with piling-on ( rest of the team consists of one thrower, one catcher, rest=linemen plus doctor), to ensure victory???
I have one Saurus with piling-on and one Saurus with St 5 ( altogether I have 6 Saurus and 5 Skinks in the team plus doctor). How would you play against these humans??? Especially with the Skinks?
Crush them first, touch down later? Or try to gain the lead and only disrupt their play afterwards?
I do not want to get crushed for my FF is very low and I do not have a lot of money. I fear that these humans might be a little bit too tough.
Please assist. Thanx.

If you get the chance receive the kick off and spend the whole half kicking his team.
Its probably worth tying up his Ogre with a Saurus while the other 5 go about killing everyone else. I'd particularly try to remove any players with Tackle (they'll kill the skinks) and the Piling On blitzers.Sputnik - Jun 23, 2003 - 06:18 AM Post subject:
Crushing humans might work, or might not. The cas department is always dependent on lucky dice! If you win the coin toss and it works out, fine. Stick to it as long as it works! However, closely watch the game plan developing turn for turn and switch before it is you being beaten up while only pushing your opponent around!
If bashing doesn't work (or as an alternative general tactic) I would try to pressurize the ball carrier with your skinks. He only has two blitzers (right?) and this ogre for the bashy part. You have more saurus to fight back. He can only blitz once per turn, so will he use his PO blitzer to get your saurus out or to attack the skinks trying to get the ball carrier? If he tries to get the skinks via blitzing, you can't do much anyway. However, he only has one thrower but lots of linemen who will have a hard time dodging/catching/blocking! Try to create turnovers by forcing him to protect the ball first and watch him using his rr!
Your advantage is speed and mobility. If you can get a skink next to the ball carrier he has to deal with it! Use your advantages to give him a hard time.
And don't mind too much the PO blitzer. They need to roll a 7 for the armor roll (for a saurus) and, since they don't have MB, they won't be deadly with every block the make! For the skinks you should already know that a halfling can be a real pain! So why exxagerate with a PO blitzer? Skinks come, score and die eventually...
Good luck!

Yeah,
Skinks do die, another problem I have, having just a bit of money.
I would especially like everbodies opinion on a good zone defense having just two Skins to protect a ball carrying Skink. How would you position them?
Doubleskulls, would you try to score in the first half or would you just bash around?

keep 4 skinks in your backfield when on defence, it means they can generally overpower a "sneaky" breakthrough and still have someone left to pick up the ball.
make sure you always have a free Saurus though, without break tackle they can be tied down too easily.
If you win the coin toss and it works out, fine. Stick to it as long as it works!
