T15 fouls are off topic, though. Razz

While disliking T16 fouls I agree on the existence of 'strategic' T16 fouls.
In a closed League I'ld even say killing the players of a rival(!) team always makes sense. Fouling the Jump Up player in T15 may be a tactical decision.
Further an outspoken feud between teams and/or coaches is a reason. Even if established in that very game- between a cowards T16 foul and the outspoken and ongoing attempt to murder every last one of them is a difference.
But other than that there is no reason to foul in T16. Frustration in the aftermath would be the worst reason. Coward, who does so!

I used to be an opposer but now fully understand / accept / expect it. I even occasionally do it myself these days although only if I can target a nice high SPP player. Fouling is part and parcel of the game and should be enjoyed by both executor and recipient of the tactic.

Oh my! Wasn't this locked?

I blame Plorg's extensive and well put together list of fouling topics for this one being dug up from the depths!

Your coach taught you not to foul? That gotta be a mistake


No, they taught me how to win a game without demeaning my opponents. You see this in NFL all the time where there is a clear win. They stop blitzing the QB, or pull out star players and allow others to play, et cetera. I could give a lot of examples, but anyone who has ever played a competitive sport understands what I'm talking about.

Hell, for that matter you see it in a lot of sports. After all there are equally as many poor winners, as there are poor losers.


You are aware that this isn't a real sport tho... its a game called BLOOD bowl of which almost every action is designed to hurt, maim kill the opponent!

Ok so to repeat... NFL real (and hardly a clean sport btw) BloodBowl not real...

If you need further proof i don't think i have ever seen a player die after gfi it NFL... although i have never seen an Orc, Elf or Mummy in NFL either Razz

Fouling is fouling. Doesn't matter what turn it is. T1 or T16. You can argue all day about the neccessity of a T16 foul, but in the end it is personal choice. I personally like blood. Mine or my opponents. Let the blood flow.
