11 skills on Gobbo's is great, however after MB on the fanatic and guard or pile on or stand firm on the trolls I've still got 8 normal skills to allocate and whilst sidestep and diving tackle are useful they don't really add much to the team overall....the Gobbo's will still die in their masses ( although I get to chose which square they die in..... :D )

Doubles would be nice :wink:

I think you will see a lot of pro / high elves.....

Interested BTW, I have family in sunny Donny so could be up for this...

You could have a diving tackle AND sidestep goblin. And/or a MB/grab fanatic plus guard/stand firm troll. Sprint/sure feet pogo would be tasty too.

Oly wanted to omit doubles to rein the skill stacking in a little. I agree it helps keep things sensibly balanced :-)

Might be worth putting the location (Grimsby?) in the post title. Not immediately obvious where it is otherwise :)

Well you could definitely have a sprint/sure feet goblin to help improve the 1 turn chance

Interested! Will depend on travel etc from Kent. Although Grimsby is certainly closer than Hartlepool!
