Who cares about tactics when your opponent rolls only 1s and skullz? Just march forward and kick everyone's head who gets in your way! Or if you can't roll a 2+ for a gfi with reroll to equalize, you'll lose.
Don't try to explain to yourselves that this is not a gambling game! |

Hmm... I forgot one special factor which is present only in fumbbl. I should ask Saruman The White about what makes a good coach. |

a note back to the halfling offened coaches i am one of them!
I am deeply annoyed, my halflings lost 2 nil in there last game but managed to do some seriouse damage, but they were unbeaten!
but i am happy in knowing that no team has beat them and survived (the game i lost he retired his team)
Haha halflings for the cup!

I don't know who you've been playing, but I wanna play them. How many times have you played an opponent that rolls only 1's and skulls? I've never played one. A well coached team will minimize dice rolls that aren't in their favor thereby taking a lot of the luck out of the equation. Sure, there is still some luck involved, but it's not the most important thing to have. |

Luck equalizes over time. Good coaching will give wins consistently. |

Flexibility [66]
Luck [59]
Wohoo! We don´t follow Nuffles path to damnation! We walk our own.
There is a chance for flings to succeed. But in reality that chance ain´t as big as for other teams. |

I've found in a few games recently I've won and lost games due to luck. I'd like to think I'm a good coach bu when people get awesome luck and I get average/poor luck I really struggle to anything outta the game. I hate loosing to luck but sometimes winning with luck isnt so great. My last game as an example, I was getting great luck so I played it really lazy and my opponent pushed me to the end, scoring with 9 players and forcing me to score in 3 turns. He played better , but I got luckier. Sometimes thats the game.
But as Origami said, the luck will always even out in the end. I just gotta learn to winge a bit less when my luck is aweful!

Very true.

Indeed. But if you always play lazy and he always plays to death, after 200 games or so he will have a much higher winning record than yours. That's where luck fails to leave its mark... in the long run. |

Oh of course JanMattys, but I rarely do this. I usually play a very concentrated game. |

I thougt it was an easily understandable example. Well, I was wrong.
Then I ask you a question: If two equally skilled coaches meet in a game, which will win? |

maybe the one with the best team perhaps.
Even though i think skill is more importent then luck, that dosent mean luck dosent matter at all, i played a CD team once were i put both hes Bulls in BH in the first 2 turns with normal blocks ofcourse that has a mayor effect on the match |
