DeMaio "ok, Head Coach Mike has asked this week's Friday at work blog to come from me. He wants a norse strategy guide or something. Warning, this norse strat guide won't help you win games, and it certainly won't help you survive...what it will do, is teach you how to be norse....and being norse...is cool.

Amazons: Chances are if you have tackle...no zon team will play you. so this is for low-tackle norse.

#1 - you are the man...show the supremacy of your Y chromasome! Make em jealous you got a big guy...use him to get 3d blocks! By increasing your pow chance, the mighty blow kicks in beautifully. secondly....always foul the blitzers, they are the foundation of any zon team. and I do mean always. foul! foul! foul! the throwers are also important...take em out too. and make sure you target any blockless zon. Get em off the field.

Orcs: with all their strength and armor these guys tend to be the "gentle rapist". Ya know, they show up coked up on guard and mighty blow and they try and goad you into a "friendly game". 'Just do as we say, and we'll inflict as little damage as possible...just give us our win and spp and no one gets hurt.'

Rage against them! the blitzers deserve death! foul!! Foul! foul! any blitzer! Let the orc coach know that although he'll be doing enormous damage to your team...he's not going to get away squeaky clean! the orc blitzers must go. They are the guys that always score...and always stop your score. Make em pay!! Rip their green snotty heads off and fling em right at the cheerleaders! the orc coach will be horrified to what happened to his premadonna 9av guard mighty blow tackle blitzer....hahaha!

Ogres: I love ogres! to play them get a few standard ogre equipment. Stripball, cuz you're never going to get that 2d block you want on the ballcarrier. Dauntless, for jumping high and hitting the bastidge in the throat! and dirty player....cuz you're going to need to foul....foul! foul! foul!!!! Foul the ogres til they stop twitching, it's the only way past 9av and thick skull. the goblins are also great....smack em around with your blitzers. Frenzy is a glorious thing!

Khemri: I love khemri too. Here's where the dauntless helps as well, but don't forget...the mummies are just a distraction....go for the throw ras. so many khemri have worms for brains, they never take sure hands on anything else. I don't care how many tackle zones you gotta penetrate...get to the throw ra...and if you need...foul! Foul! foul! great thing about khemri...no apoth...50% chance to send em back to Hell! Concentrate firepower on the 7av...and work your way up the bonechain!

High elves: I have no advice on how to deal with them. Why? because out of 219 freaking games...I've only seen a high elf once. I'm not even sure they exist. I think they don't stop making chocolate graham crackers in trees long enough to play bloodbowl.

All right...this is getting too long! so for everything else...undead, necros, humans, other norse, stunties, vampires, rats, and anything brave enough to walk on the field all I have is this to say....the score will be whatever the score is....just foul....foul! foul! foul! if you got to leave a loser....at least leave making an "impression" on the other team.

gotta go set something on fire now...see you on the pitch."
