If I've missed anything let me know and I will edit accordingly

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..... )

Doubles would be nice

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...

[Pipey]

Sounds good Oly

Hope to make it.

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

[Sizzler]

Looks fun. I'd love to make it.

[Pipey]

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

[robsoma]

Interesting rules set, colour me interested!

[Leipziger]

Definitely interested Oly.

[unmightythor]

interested. (but not wife approved)

[Oly1987]

Haha I know the feeling, got you on the list provisionally xD

[Itchen Masack]

Sure feet on every goblin. You know it makes sense :p

[Oly1987]

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

[eldritchfox]

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

[Oly1987]

Would be good to see you again oli. Will the wife be attending? Nice to see theres a lot of interest
