BB7's

Post by outcast »

Hi

Just wondering if anyone on here has a particular BB7's rule set they can recommend?

Thinking of trying out some lunchtime matches - a guy I work with said he has heard of BB so I'm not letting him get away! :-)

Thanks

Hmm, seems the NAF link is broken - will have a quick search.

We've been playing a test ruleset that's been a LOT of fun. If you decide to try it out, please feed back :) We've created our own amateur versions of the rosters, but there's no reason why you couldn't use the standard teams halved.

There's a downloadable pitch in there too that fits with the GW rules. Good luck!

And I should point out that the GW rules are LRB4 at latest, so talk about razor sharp claws etc. I assume Shteve0's are CRP? And were the ones linked from the NAF site, until he went and changed his website address... ;)

Thanks guys. I thought the GW ones were a bit out of date!

That's great, Shteve0. I found a link to these rules elsewhere but it was broken - guess that was the same place the NAF site referenced?

Thanks for pointing out the right address I'll give them a go and feed back.

Cheers

We've been playing the GW version, just ignoring the alterations to the kick-off table because they refer to an older version and using FAME instead of the Gate. The rest seems to work just fine.

Simple is best afterall, and by Christ it makes for a fun, fast paced game.

Thanks JT-Y. Looking forward to trying them out!

It's quite amazing how, after even just a couple of games, all traditional wisdom about the best skills to give certain positional goes out of the window in favour of things like Leader ASAP and Frenzied blitzers or line for plenty of surfing shenanigans !)

Since I don't possess any of that wisdom, I'll be two games ahead of everyone else! :D

We've been having great fun with those exact rules.
Because I've been asked a couple of times: the changes we make are simple; use those rules with the CRP exactly as written, then all you need to do is swap Gate for Fame and ignore the changes to the Kick Off table as they refer to a much older version of that.

All the other changes to BB in the 7's document are logical and work really well for an amateur/pub league and that's all that's needed to bring it bang up to date.

Also, it wouldn't be a GW document without a typo; obviously post game you nominate one player to gain a level up, but you roll 2D6 and compare it to the Improvement Roll Table, not 1D6 as it says. You can't roll 7+ or a double on a single die afterall :lol:

Sorry to state the obvious but I'm guessing from this that you allow the full compliment of positions and that you also allow big guys? (I thought I'd read somewhere that they should be halved and 0-1 players weren't allowed but can't seem to find that in the GW document so must have got it elsewhere!)
