Another double on my damned dark elves.
So...I rolled doubles on a tackle/MB DE blitzer. The team already has 3 guards, but also plays in a fairly grindy division (remaining games are Chaos, orcs, undead, Chaos dwarves, then maybe orcs, Chaos, undead in the playoffs). As alluded to above, a maximum of seven games left. They'll retire after the season, so no eye toward a final skill.
The team:
The blitzer in question (dodge, sidestep, tackle, mighty blow)
3 blitzers (All dodge, sidestep; 1 has guard)
witch elf (wrestle, MB)
witch elf (block, sidestep, +1 AG, MB, pile-on)
Rookie runner.
6 linemen (1 wrestle/DP, 1 guard, 1 block/guard, rest rookies)

Guard.
Can never have too much on DEs. Just golden. And it protects against the existing Guard-ers dying or even just missing a game.

Re: Another double on my damned dark elves.
Yeah...I figured guard would be the consensus. My guards have taken turns being MNGed over the past three games, so I can definitely see the sense in Joe's last point.

Re: Another double on my damned dark elves.
I don't know...I do like PO, but my witch hasn't made much use of it. And at least she has the benefit of Jump-Up. If I was set to face teams with lower AV, I might be more inclined to go that route.MattDakka wrote:Piling On, great with Mighty Blow and Tackle.

Doesn't matter, still PO. That Witch is bound to die sometime.dode74 wrote:Already has an MBPO witch.MattDakka wrote:Piling On, great with Mighty Blow and Tackle.

Re: Another double on my damned dark elves.
All players die eventually. Guard is more use to the team imo.

I was thinking PO until I saw your opos and that POMB witch. Then I changed my mind to guard.

Re: Another double on my damned dark elves.
PO not so good vs the teams he faces next though. Normally I would say PO without any doubt, but I say Guard here as you will get value from it whereas maybe not from the PO.

Re: Another double on my damned dark elves.
Diving tackle on a blodge tackle sidestep blitzer is amazing. I have one and he moves toa ccageaand just sidesteps his way to the ball carrier and they dodging away for 5s most of the time. I get sooo many turnovers this way it's great.
