I think the concept of Strength rating is a great idea but am somewhat stuped how I can buy a Linerat for my skaven team and go up 9 points in strength. It's a linerat ... no skills ... soft and squishy. Why is it worth so much? |

What did your team look like before you bought the linerat? |

The str score is not purely on a player by player basis. There are factors that apply based on the rest of the team as well, so you may have purchased that lineman at another time and found him to add significantly less to your str. |

had a rat ogre with block i retired (178), refreshed (158), then bought the linerat. jumped from 158 to 167. just seemed pretty significant for a player with no skills and costing $50,000. The purchase of the linerat restored the # of team members to 13.
If the number of players counts towards your str rating (which makes sense) then there aught to be more weight given to STR teams 'cause when they're a man short they really feel the pinch where my gutter runners can do the touchdown with as little as three or four players on the field. Having said that I also agree the AG4 players are invaluable on the pitch ... whoever they play for. As for AG5 players ... they're pretty much unbeatable |

I find that AG5 players pose less of a problem when they have thier legs broken, Pehaps this should go into tactics |

I gotta disagree with your statement that AG5 players are unbeatable. With the exception of throwers, the difference between AG 3 and AG 4 is much greater than the difference between AG4 and 5. Unless you get yourself into a tight spot, ag 4 and 5 are the same. Think about it, a 1 always fails, so an ag 4 player does just as well picking up the ball, dodging, catching, and generally bein a poncy elf as an AG5. I got a gentleman I play with who has a AG6 elfy blitza. He puts that bugger into every possible mess he can, but really, the only time it does him a lick of good is when gettin away from my boys with diving tackle. Next week I play him again. No amount of his AG will save him from my witchelves this time. |
