Hi All,
I play a TV 122 Orc Team in a local 8 Person League.
Of course I play with 4 Blitzers, and one of them just earned his second skill.
The first skill I gave him was "Tackle", but I am not to sure about the second.
Mighty Blow, Guard and Strip Ball all seem too sexy to miss. Any Suggestions?
My Other Blitzers are all unskilled, exept a AG+1 on one of them.
Thanks in Advance. |

| Depending on the numbe of agility teams in the league, a great compliment to the Tackle skill would be Frenzy to help make sure you put those dodgy catcher types down! Alternitavely you could consider Stand Firm to prevent your Tackle player being pushed off anyone who does not want to chance dodging away. |

As suggested by Frantic, I would go with Mighty Blow.
It's a great combo for squishing nasty things like stunties, Gutter Runners, Wardancers...(the list is endless).
Hope this helps.

Mighty Blow, Guard or Frenzy. I tend to prefer Guard. The more Guard the better if you play ball control. But Mighty Blow does mix well with Tackle. With my Orcs I tend to try to get Guard on all my BoBs and Blitzers ASAP (with some block on some BoBs, and some Tackle on one or two Blitzers). But as others have mentioned, it does depend on the opponents that you will face. Mighty Blow if you face lots of agility teams, Guard if you face lots of strength teams, Frenzy if you face lots of blodgers or wrestle/dodge players.
Strip Ball is not suggested on Orcs. They are not fast enough or agile enough to make good use of it.
BoBs: Guard and Block (in whatever order you prefer), then a mix of Stand Firm and Mighty Blow
Blitzer (anti strength): Guard, Mighty Blow, Stand Firm
Blitzer (anti agility/blodge): Tackle, Frenzy, Juggernaut/Mighty Blow |

I think that Strip Ball would be a consideration , only if you had Frenzy first, and only on a blitzer. |

I would agree with that.
Back to the starting question. I would go with mighty blow, if your up against fast or dodging teams, and going by the fact you've taken tackle I guess you are. |

| Mighty blow would be my choice. That makes him excellent at taking out the Av7 blodgers. |

| I had a look at the other Teams in my league. We have 2 x Darkelves, 1 x Orcs, 1 x Norse, 1 x Skaven, 1 x Humans and 1 x Woodelves. I would say that the Agility-Teams are in the mayority. So I go for mighty blow. hanks. |

Never mind the Agility teams, you have a LOT of armour 7 teams out there - Mighty Blow is going to do you proud! |

| Spazz is right. MB would rock. Depending on the player mix on the DE and Human teams, there can be plenty of AV7 targets on them. Norse, Skaven, and Woodies all cringe from MB. |
