Hi all

I'm a reasonable experienced BB player but am going to try out an orc team at this years Bunker Bowl (essex) tournament. Any stratagy advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Alex

Absolutely, but not too much advice, I'll be playing there as well........

IMO the only question is to Troll or not?

I don't know the rules for the tournament and won't be bothered to look them up right now, but if you are looking for starting points this may help.

Thanks guys. It's a 1000000 tourney. Will take all on board

Actually it's:

"1,100,000 GP team value to be use to choose the team from. Four normal skills and one doubles skill to be selected by the coaches before the tournament starts â€“ only one skill per player"

Orc's are a solid choice, having taken Wood Elves last two years, I'm looking for something different, but I've played Orc's at 15 tournaments so I doubt it will be them.

Thanks for the clarification! The next issue is whether to give all the black orcs block or not. What do we all think?

2 Block, 2 guard.

I wouldn't use 4 of your 5 skills on the black Orcs. If it we're me, perhaps 2 block and 1 guard max. Save the skills for the Blitzers. If there's likely to be a lot of elf teams, you way consider either a tackle or a MB blitzer.... or both!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to resurrect a 3 year old post!! wow... not a popular forum?
