Gone are the fouling possibilities (and the opportunities to gain SPPs from it). Gone are the team wizards. Where are the secret weapons? One would think these would all be in place should greenskins and 'umies take the pitch.
Instead we have these lame rules:
A) Roll AV/Inj for failed GFI????????? You have the same risk of taking a casualty from tripping as you do from being hit in the face by a Black Orc. That's weak. I've run full on into trees (not looking!
) and have taken what I assume would be more damage than simply tripping, yet I had no risk of dying. B) Average players only have a 66% chance of PICKING UP THE BALL! Fellas, my parent's dogs have a higher success rate than this, and they are untrained animals without even the benefit of an opposable thumb (or hand), not developed athletes. Again, weak.
I'm starting to see BB as more a comedy of errors than a violent Old World passtime. You can bet the barn if I was a coach my players could pick up a ball!
In all, I'm just saying maybe the BBRC should start looking at rules that don't scale back things to make the teams even out (fouling), but instead ways to boost the teams to create more mayhem/options, and in turn evening them out. Does that make sense?
