I think you are missing one critical concept here.
If i can grab an opposing player and throw him, there is only one place I would aim,
Their thrower.
Obviously throwing one of the oppositions players at another opposition player is going to result in goodness for you.


I only mention this because in my league we recently had an incident where a friend of mine, in a desperate attempt to stop me scoreing with a gutter runner, threw a goblin at me.
We decided that I had to role under my strength to avoid being knocked over, St 2 meant i failed and my gutter runner was flattened.
The only drawback for the opponent was that his gobbo was badly hurt.
If he could have thrown one of my players (for example if i had been lizardmen) then he would have stopped my TD and probly injured two players in the process, all without even using a blitz!!!

Seems slightly handy. :)

With the TTM rules there are rules for players being hit. I think an automatic knock down is in order, and yes, with armour rolls for both players.

The diference between throwing a teammate and an opponent is that the Teammate will be co-operating and the opponent will be doing his best not to be thrown (Goblin bites hurt :) ).

Also if it was that easy for a Troll to eat an opponent would they not just scoff all the little guys they see rather than bother with blocking them.

Won't work at least with the Pitch Player rules I posted. Since you use the rules for Throw TeamMate you can only aim at an unoccupied square.
I only mention this because in my league we recently had an incident where a friend of mine, in a desperate attempt to stop me scoreing with a gutter runner, threw a goblin at me.
Again this is illegal. He would have had to aim for an empty square and prayed for an inaccurate result that scattered on top of your player.

Re-read TTM and you might think a little differently on this topic.

I'd aim for the squares nearest the sideline and hope for a scatter off field.

Personally, I think you ought ot be able to throw any player with right stuff, friend or foe, at any square, occupied or not. The fact that there are no rules for this just proves someone's not trying hard enough, me included.

Have fun!

My apologies Galak, we spent a long time without uptodate rules and so we just sort of made a fair bit of stuff as we went along :)
One of the things attempted was the aforementioned throwing a player at my gutter runner.

It was pretty funny at the time :)
one of the best TD stopping play i have seen!
