Hey Von Drake!
Welcome to TFF
If you decide you like the game and want to try a tournament, we hold a couple (the Stunty Slam [sept], and the Waterbowl Weekender [feb]) just over the pennines in Manchester
There's also the Ironmanj up in York in January.
Re: your line-up, I'd go:
4 x BOB (320)
4 x Blitzer (320)
1 x Thrower (70)
2 x Lineorc (100)
3 x RR (180)
TV99
Or you could drop a RR and have an apo.
The troll and goblin combo obviously give you a TTM option, but you don't want to be in the position where you
have to have the goblin on the pitch. Also 4 x ST4 from the BOBs means that you'll out muscle most teams at TV100, so you can save for the troll as a later investment.
