Halfling Defense:

T = Tree (probably with Guard)
H = Hafling (regular expendable)
S = Halfling with Side Step
D = Halfling with DP or some other value making them worth protecting
The Trees can widen one square if playing against Dodgy teams. |

The idea with this set-up is to force the opponents to a side and then casing them in, pushing them more and more to the side. Works best against teams that play a running game, but the best tactic against an elf passing game is to force them to score quick and score twice in turn 8 for the 2-1 anyway so it isn't that much of a problem they can flood your half with receivers. |
I use a variant of this for most of my elves and rats (below):
| Code: | _________________ los
....|..XXX..|.... 1

....|X..X..X|.... 3
....|..X.X..|.... 4

The two guys on the outside (row 3) invariably get blitzed, it's usually a good idea to sidestep them diagonally (to row 4) next to the players at their backs so a gangfoul is impossible on them. If I don't have sidesteppers, I expect either of those players to be gone from turn 1.
The safest spots are the positions on row 4, and the middle position on row 5. The advantage of mine over Rijssiej's is that the open diagonals allow players to cross from left to right and vice versa as necessary without moving anything in the middle. However, Rijssiej said his intention is for the other team to choose one side and roll down - making it less important for him. For myself, I find that most coaches prefer to take it a bit slower and set up a safe pocket in their own half before moving down - in which case my setup works better.  |
