Fouling always was, Is, and always should be a part of BLOODbowl. It's riskier now and generally not as effective, but still a tool to be used or not at the coaches discretion. Hate it all you want Grim, but accept and live with it or stop playing because they will never get rid of it completely.
Think the best I've managed so far in a match with one guy is only 7...getting 11 with that many injuries and no bribes is awesome. |

I think it's the name people have a problem with...
Think of it instead as "Additional Floor Block"
or "Rough Tickling"
You get the idea.... Doesn't sound as anger provoking now.
Oh and next time you get fouled remind yourself the offender of the said "Tickle" may get sent off and receives no SPP's .... Come to think of it, how unfair!! |

Hey, I just remembered that I piled on and killed a zombie on the last play of the match. Overhamsteren, you forgot to whine too! |
Hehe Gregor the Brewmeister died with a stunning zero in all stats except number of games. 
Thanks for being a good sport about it all.  |

how did you foul if there were no opponents left on the field?
did you foul their cheerleaders? |

there is always a time where the referee is out
especially when you foul every day
it's just statistic |
How did you foul on T8 vs no players? |

It boggles my mind that there can actually be an argument about fouling under these rules. Have you done the math on fouling under CRP? Many times that my players have been fouled lately, I've been thinking "yay, my opponent doesn't understand probabilities". Sheeesh. |

It ain't that great, but it ain't that bad either.
If you can reduce your opponent to AV6 (counting assists) he has a greater chance of leaving the pitch than you do.
Not to mentain the fact that risking a noobman to foul an opposing star could still be worth it, even if the odds are against you. If BB was just the straight math, it would be easy |

I used to never foul - I preferred having all my players on the pitch (I can beat most coaches when it's 11 v 11).
Then I played tabletop, and we practically encouraged each other to foul our players. Since then, I've done it when advantageous - when I have a deep bench and rubbish players, like Halflings, for example.
Now, I view it like an exchange of pieces in chess when you have an advantage - 11 v 10 is less of a difference than 8 v 7, for example.
DP spam has long since given way to ClawPOMB spam, there's no issue with fouling now as a broken tactic. |

What would the total possible be in a tournament game if the fouling on a blitz bug was fixed? |

What I find hilarious is all of the people that cry about fouling playing cpomb. Some teams needs to use it as a valid strategy to clear higher tv peeps off the field. Necro, undead, Khemri, and Norse come to mind. They usually have a deeper bench then the other team, then even if they only stun a guy and have a zombie kicked out, to only have another zombie KO+ the next turn, you win the TV battle usually. |

dirty necro
Anyway, 11 fouls in a friendly league game is my best.
1 bribe was used and the outcome was:
a bunch of stuns
1 ko
1 BH
1 -AV
1 kill (apo)
