will this work?


Better than bank but worse than petty cash. At least it does what bank tries to do better than bank.

There is a potential answer to the problem of a Bank Rule making it harder for certain teams to recover from nasty games: allow teams to purchase insurance on individual players.

So: At team creation or during the Post-Match Sequence, you may purchase player insurance for half the value of the player (eg. a Rookie Wardancer's insurance premium cost would be 60k). Each insurance policy increases TV by 10k, and can be cancelled at any time. Then if an insured player is killed, the insurance pays half the *current* value of the player.

This would permit teams to more easily rebuild after losing star players. It also acts as a money-sink for periods of strong cash flow. And it gets around Bank Rule limits to some extent. The main downside would be the temptation for coaches to purposefully put injured stars in danger (on LOS for example) in an effort to get them killed for the insurance money. Although frankly I think this behaviour would be hilarious and very Blood Bowl!

Anyway just wanted to put the thought on paper.

I like it. A lot. Would mean you never accumulate an arbitrarily large amount of gold, but you can save up pretty reasonably. You'd want to loosen the Spiraling Expenses thresholds, I'd think. Maybe 250k? Or maybe 200k, but only have half of Treasury counted.
