No change! I fear change!
Triplets! I love triplets!
GC's lovely 1-2-quad based tier system. It's clearly the best!
I actually did have a leaping AG4 CW in a pub team once, I think I lost it with the move to LE. He wasn't ST 5 and didn't have block or any other skill to help with cage breaking, so that failed more often than not (leaving him in perfect position for a foul). Still fun to play with though.
I was going to suggest Thick Skull (to keep him on the pitch), but Leap is obviously a superior chance. If you don't get doubles though I'd suggest Thick Skull.

Nah, block is what he needs next (assuming you don't get a double). Block is the best skill ever. Everyone needs more block in their lives.
But block only helps if you roll a both down on the block die. With Thick Skull EVERY time an 8 is rolled for an injury he will be stunned instead of KO'd. And it can be used even if the player is prone or stunned.
I think the better choice is obvious.

Well played and congratulations on the win. Was a good game.
But on the other hand, block will stop him going down in the first place, rescuing me from turnovers to boot. Given that he's going to be a cage-breaker, he needs the ability to bash someone in the face.
It's definitely going to be block next unless I get that elusive double. The following dilemma would be if I don't get a double, do I then take VLL on another non-double in the hope of a double? Or do I simply take him down another interesting path? It worked out with my skaven one-turner; I spent several level ups giving him sprint, sure feet and the like, then by some miracle a +1MA turned up for him.
True that. Damn thing was the only guy anywhere near the wolf with the ball, yet he managed to dodge away from a Ghoul then blitz and stun the wolf on a 1 dice block. I was surprised he didn't pick up the ball and chuck it down field after that.
VLL is practically useless without leap, I wouldn't risk it if I were you. Perhaps go for two heads to help dodging into cages, or tentacles to keep everyone put once he's inside (ag4 Beast of Nurgle). Either that or plain old tackle.

If he's leaping or dodging into cages, Strip Ball or Grab. With STR5 you could also consider Frenzy and Tackle. Prehensile Tail or Tentacles would stop people stepping away from him and Stand Firm would make it harder to keep him away from important players.

Tentacles is a nice idea, if I'd not rolled +1ag I'd probably have taken that. Block next level on a single is a certainty. If I don't have a double within 2 levels it'll be block, tentacles, stand firm. If I get a double it'll be block, leap, VLL/tackle. The problem is of course the two quickest levels are now used on stat ups, leaving too much skill choice for too few remaining slots.
Hopefully I'll get a beastman roll +1ag at some point too, that'd diversify my team nicely.
I never, ever get STR-ups. Ever. I seem to get a surprising number of +Mov and +Agi, although I never seem to get the really nice +Mov rolls, the ones on players who are already quite move-y anyway like catchers. That might be because I've been playing bashier recently, however.
In all my time playing Norse, I have only just now decided to try "Piling On" skill with a Yeti. Why have I not done this before? The combo of PO and Claws makes him really fun against Orc and Dwarf teams. Granted, the computer doesn't really size up it's opponent. A human playing Orc would immediately focus on killing the yeti. But in the first 4 rounds of an AI match the Yeti killed two black orcs and KOed a third.
It's almost like cheating.
My chaos mans just lost 3-2 to the ridiculously elfy elves of Chainsawhands.
There's very little you can do to stop the buggers scoring.
The match was marred for me by computer weirdness (my esc key didn't work so I was forced to use the terrible automatic camera), and by something being screwed up in the connection so the game stole my setup time a couple of times. I wouldn't have won anyway, so I am not that bothered by it, but it did make me a bit grumpy and probably not a very enjoyable opponent for 'Hands.
Also the connection was so bad that for some reason I thought I had just played ntw...

They really didn't.
Both division 2 matches validated. Unless there are dropouts above us, I'm going up, P-Wease and NieA7 are in some kind of hellish limbo of arcane maths, and Desvergeh is on his way down.
Arg, I suck at reading the results. We are indeed in a hellish hell of maths.
I hope the casualties my star player mino caused count!

Pretty sure Pweasel is number 2, my games have been 1-1, 0-2 and 2-1 so he's way ahead on TDs, and I doubt my faintly limp Necro's have out casualtied the Chaos mans.
There's an easy way to find out though - once all the other matches are done whichever division doesn't have dorfs in is my one.
*edit* Just checked, I caused and sustained 3 casualties, and scored 3 TDs/conceded 4.
Also, 3 skill rolls and not a single stat up or double (that's 16 in total with nothing more than normal skills!).

Back in Blighty. Yay.
So that means I'm up for rejoining next season with the Comics.
Looks like I picked a bad day to not renew my skink insurance
Aw, shucks :)
I am pretty sure my thinking went something like
- Chainsawhands said he'd get the score approved
- Oh that's lucky I was playing an admin
- ntw is an admin
- I must have been playing ntw
I am not saying that makes any sense.
