Ok, I don't usually ask in the forums, but this one has me puzzled...

Roll is 5+5 on this Dodge,+ST Dwarf Blocker...

+MA on Dwarves is always good...
+AV on this guy is actually an option since he's already a stud.
I don't have a Leader on the team and if anyone fits the bill stat-wise, it's this guy.

Suggestions?

Diving Tackle. Stand Firm later and he'll be massively annoying.

DT. You have 6 players as fast as or faster than him with +MA, and it's not as though he can carry the ball anyway. Play anyone who dodges, mark them, watch them fail to get away.

+MA, since you don't want your ST4 awesome dude lying on the ground.

The fact that A) you don't have run/slay makes me think Leader for the extra reroll, but barring that go DT.

You get yourself sidestep and your next skill if it's a normal roll: guard.

Well, if you're running a themed team instead of trying to win, just take something that fits with the theme.

I'd go +Ma, but DT isn't a bad option. I certainly wouldn't take leader, because an actual re-roll is only 20k more and doesn't ruin a good player Smile

Hmm. You know what would make him super annoying? Sidestep.

Damn won't let me edit. DT then SF or MA then BT or MB then Guard.
Tough choice but whatever you do don't take SS, Leader or AV.

Not Leader - St 4 and Leader is only a savings of 20k in TV vs. just buying a RR, gotta be something better for this star.

I don't play Dwarves, so I have to ask... is it?

+MA to your slowest player... that gives you one more medium-dwarf speed player - who is still only MA 5, and so still "slow" in the game. Does that one MA 5 player now make that much of a diff to the team?

(Otoh, you don't seem to be using Runners or Troll Slayers on your team, so that makes the 2 MA 5 Blitzers all the "speed" you have atm.)

I would have suggested Jump Up, but Ag 2 = a 3+ roll - not the best.


Sidestep, with Guard at 76? Blodgestepper Guards are great for Elves, can't be too bad for Dwarves and their position game.

Or Diving Tackle - classic to shut down dodgers, and w/ St 4 that much harder to block away.

But I'm not too sure I'd want this guy on the ground more than he has to be - so Sidestep.

SS is a waste of a double roll and TV when you can get SF on normals.
