So what's your point? A thrower with accurate making a long pass still only fumbles on a 1.

I've been "playtesting" this for about 10 years now. Never played differently. Unfortunately, as my leagues where always table top and never had records kept on computers, i'm afraid that i can't provide any numbers. |

I'm afraid i've lost track of that thread and can't find it anymore. Point it out to me and i'll be sure to give you a satisfactory answer. |

| How about the one entitled "Does Foul appearrance works all the time?" |

| I didn't even know which forum to look in! It appears it's in this one. Thanks for pointing it out and i'll get right to it. |

I would favour a change enabling interceptions to be made AFTER inaccurate passes are scattered.
I understand there would be a few complications, but they don't look difficult to resolve in a simple way.
I agree with Bevan's earlier comments (risky passes are discouraged).
I would add that the current rule favours AG sides and sides that come with Throwers. If you play a low AG side, or one that comes without throwers or catchers, most of your pass attempts could be deemed "risky". It's frustrating to see a pass which has a 1 in 6 chance of going to the target square land neatly in the interceptor's hands every time.
Just my tuppence worth.

This whole argument always seems to come down on the 'it's not realistic' point.
Have you considered that you are playing a game of american football with Orcs and Elves where one team moves while the other waits for them?
And what about the Turnover rule... one player drops the ball and the rest of the team can't move. I think we should get rid of that next  |

I wasn't making a proposal on the basis of "realism".
I suggest the rule (or sequence) could be made better from the following points of view (among others):
- Easier to assimilate for newbies (because more in line with common sense). Fewer rules questions.
- Greater variety (and hence more character or colour).
- Some potential for more skilfull coaching (without a corresponding increase in complexity).
I also find the way interception works at the moment (especially with a good interceptor) somewhat mechanistic and automated. Maybe that's just a matter of taste.
