For those who don't know. Blood Bowl is the game of Fantasy Football, only taken to the extreme. The players consist of many different races and all have their own special flavor. I'll be posting some of the different race types and abilities in later posts and will try to update them as we go.
Blood Bowl is set up on a board known as a pitch. Within the pitch there are grid-like squares which represent movement blocks. The goal? To get the Ball from one side of the pitch to the other. Of course this may prove harder than you think because you have to make it through your opponents team first!
Example of a pitch:

Within the pitch the center line Represents the Scrimmage line. This is the point which differentiates one teams side of the field to the other's. The two lines which run horizontally represent the wide zone. Each wide zone can only have 2 players set up in it before the kick off. The rest of the players on the team must be set up in between the two wide zones. A total of 11 players are needed on the pitch in order to start a game. That is of course unless someone gets knocked out, badly hurt, or even killed during the game!
Team players consist of many different types of models. The basic player is a Lineman. This is your meat and potatoes of your team. There are also a number of others like blitzers, runners, throwers, catchers and other more exotic blends. Each type has it's own strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find a balance of them all for each game.
Games consist of 2 halves, each with 8 turns for each player combined for a total of 16 turns. During the player turn you can move or not move as many models around the field as you want. Games will usually last anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on player experience and kick-off table rolls.
If you'd like to know more please post your question up and I'll get to it as soon as I can. Stay tuned for the Human team rundown!
Same grot time, same grot place.
