Yeah what happened with the PUb league. I haven't played a match in awhile!

Loooong round this time! Dunno how many games we're waiting on.

My brave boys underdogs are awaiting Vesticle's 'far-too-good-for-a-pub' team of pro 'ringers' that have swept all before them.

Actually, was talking about stat increases the other weekend. I reckon that they're far too unbalancing in a pub league. In a game where there's frequently not many players on the field, a ST4 Blitzer is too much. That's a player that'd be moving up to the Pros pretty quickly (I've got one too!).
Maybe there should be some sort of 'spotted by a scout' system where there's a (increasing by game?) chance of position players with stat increases being recruited by the big leagues. It supposed to be about incompetent pissed-up lineman, not superstars that'd grace the Reikland f***ing Reavers!

Well my game against the BhB was one of them and we just wrapped things up the other day.

Congratulations Sean. I'm sure he'll be happy to meet up with my *2* ST4 blitzers.

I've certainly had a lucky run with team development, I won't try to claim it's anything else. I think in honesty, though, I might have rather had a handful of more spread out skills on some lineman, that I probably would've hit had my opponent not conceded so early.

Oh well, I'll be aiming for a +AG roll next.

In terms of stat increases being imbalancing in a Pub League, I have to agree. However, A) I'm not sure that you want to, basically, punish players by having them lose a player if they get lucky enough to roll a stat increase and B) I find lucky/unlucky skill rolls somewhat imbalancing in a normal Blood Bowl game anyway, though I'll admit, not as significantly.

AG4 Skinks, ST4 Wardancers, and Human Linemen with Guard all play, somewhat, beyond their intended capability. In Christer's League, one of the opponents I was going to play, but didn't have enough time to, had a team where about 2 out of 3 rolls were stat increases and/or doubles. By contrast my Wood Elves have not rolled anything but a normal skill, and have sufferered aging once, in 12 skill rolls. Though the TRs are about the same, most people would concede that on paper, his team has a significant advantage over mine.

However, I'm not sure if this is something that people want to accept as just 'part of the game' or if people really want to change it. Other game factors, such as MNGs and stat decreases, also make teams of equal TR a possible imbalanced mis-match. Also a simple lucky roll in the beginning - in Tim's REBBL league in round one I believe an Amazon team killed two Dwarves with their first two actions of the game. If some sort of extraordinary luck such as this occurs, do players feel we need to take some sort of outside measure to 're-balance' the game? For example, would people feel comfortable with a rules stipulation that states "If a coach fails 4 2+ maneuvers in a row, in the interest of keeping the game balanced, he may take an extra TRR to compensate him for his extraordinary bad luck."?

Anyway, back to the point, I'll say, "Good for you Sean", and offer a pat on the head.

Personally any pub league not drunk, should not be allowed, an illegal procedure should be called.

Well ya see we don't call ourselves drunk until all the beer is gone and start on the whiskey.

Perhaps something should be linked into the amount of SPP's. Say at 25spp's the player decides its time to move on.

Well as my ST4 thrower has already ploughed his way through your team
