COSH Bowl VI - Return of the Hammer - Colchester - 15/10/2022

[Vacant]

Thanks for the clarification, as expected but wanted to double check

[Vacant]

Bombardier question, a bomber who is not holding ball, declares bomb throw, rolls a one, fumbles bomb, hit by blast and is ‘placed prone’*. Turnover or not?

*The FAQ has it they’re placed prone.

Lots of debate online seeming to come down on side of ‘not’ but would be great for clarification prior to weekend.

Last question I promise!! Thanks in advance


I’ve been playing Snots that it does cause TO but am now not so sure based on a few Facebook posts.

Pg 23 of the main rulebook - If a player on the active team falls down or is knocked down during their own activation.

Bomb targets are Placed Prone, as per the FAQ. Being Placed Prone whilst not holding the ball is not a Turnover.

They're also failing a pass activation which is also a turnover.

A Throw Bomb Action is not a Pass Action so fumbling a bomb is not a Turnover.

Thanks for clarification, nice to have this cleared up by the experts in advance.

Is that based on the designer commentary below? As this is when Safe Pass is used.
Q: What happens when a player with the Bombardier trait and the Safe Pass skill fumbles a throw when making a Throw Bomb Special action? (p.79 & 83)
A: The bomb will not be dropped and will not explode in the player's hands. The player's activation will still end.

Nope, based on the rulebook's list of Turnovers. Being Placed Prone is not a Turnover unless that player was holding the ball.
And Player Activation ending is not the same as a Turnover.

Hello,

Couple of quick tournament questions from a new to both tourplay and tournament player. I’m looking to run Snotlings.

Regards inducements, is CTV difference calculated before or after skill packs are added please? If after do I have the option of running less skills than the ‘pack’?

Regards adding inducements I’m guessing these are done prior to the first game and then are static?

Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for the tardy response - I was abroad then busy due to a delayed return. As Itchen says the skills come after so take them all - inducements are part of your initial team build and remain static for all your games

[Onyersix]

Just checking. You mentioned teams start with 0 Dedicated Fans.

Are we allowed to buy them with our 1,115,000gp team funds?

Also, picking a Stunty package with 2 secondary skills is flagging the team as exceeding the secondary skills repetition.

[scs.sam]

Yes you can buy dedicated fans with your treasury.

The skills package should be fixed this evening.

[scs.sam]

Secondary skills duplication for stunty teams - should now work

[besters]

Thanks to all, fun as usual, four good games, even if my decision making wasn't good at times.
