Other than Vamps, and to a lesser extent Khemri, does any team really ever need more than 3 rerolls? I guess maybe Khorne to protect against frenzy traps but that seems like a waste.

2. Get a Zombie! It's only 40k, and if it means you win and/or tie the second and third matches because you're not down players, you're pretty likely to have that sweet werewolf gold within the first 3 games anyway.

I should explain what the cheerleaders call is for.

In the match vs Flare, you might remember one of the kickoff events was Brilliant Coaching, and it gives one of (or both of) the players a free reroll. There's another event in the same vein called Cheering Fans. Buying cheerleaders for your team gives you a better chance to get the reroll for Cheering Fans (your cheerleaders get the fans to cheer harder) and buying assistant coaches for your team gives you a better chance at getting the Brilliant Coaching reroll (a good staff helps you out with your coaching).

Generally people don't bother buying any of these (and even the few outliers only pick up one of either or one of each) and they're probably going to be the joke vote option after every match from here till infinity.

Agreed.

Use a dice roll to figure out how many Cheerleaders and rear end Coaches.

Studman would disagree at your claims of needing Flesh Golems.

Especially since SDS calls it a dicing when Flare's just KOing all the necromantic.
A dicing is when you literally can do nothing. Gnu could've rolled more pows, sure. But he can still do actual things.

Edit: Also, Wolfs are like. MA8. You SO could've one turned. You don't deserve another wolf until you learn how to use your current one properly!

Necromantic are the best agi3 OTTD team in the game. Once you get both wolves you can OTTD with wights, ghouls or wolves, whichever has a better chance of succeeding based on the other guys setup. Since Gnu only has one wolf right now he can only OTTD with wolves (requires 9 players on the pitch) or ghouls (requires 10 players on the pitch.) If the opponent doesn't set up to stop a ottd (they won't vs necro) you will succeed:

25% of the time with a RR if you're scoring with a wolf
10% of the time with a RR if you're scoring with a ghoul.
3% of the time with a RR if you're scoring with a wight.

All numbers will go up dramatically if you have juggernaut, grab, catch, sure hands, sure feet, sprint, or guard.

The objective is to set up on the line of scrimmage in such a way that you can blitz their line into your own, chain pushing your guys up the field enough that they can sprint the rest of the way.

When you push an opponent after a block you pick one of the three empty squares behind them to move them to. When all three squares have players you pick one of those players and push them as well to make room for the guy you hit. Most one turns rely on doing this repeatedly to an opposing player in an attempt to push one of your players over the line of scrimmage into scoring range, so naturally rolling anything other than a push would knock the opposing(or your) player down, ending your ability to use them to push your dude forward

Right what you need to do is move a guy up some squares, it usually works like this - should be self-explanatory (obviously you have to pass to the ball carrier you move up the spaces at the end), although it doesn't account for the normal wall of tackle zones at the other end, nor for tricky LoS/back of LoS stuff:



IIRC Werewolves need 3 squares rather than 2 unless they have Sprint/plus-MA, and 2 squares is comparatively a piece of cake.

Although I wouldn't cry if you only bought one and then saved for a wolf. Just making you have a single little model on the sideline to be bitch about getting voted in is enough for me.

The kind of stuff SDS and I aren't going to get into in the videos. This first match we covered a lot more of the basic stuff but there's still a lot left unsaid. Mostly number stuff.
