![]() When playing against quicker teams, sometimes running a cage slowly downfield is the tactic to use. Maybe one day I will take you to Bretonnia. Oh well, I am sure you aren’t quite accustomed to this delectable delight so you would probably miss some of the underlying flavors. Nathaniel, I’d offer you some but it seems I’ve already eaten it all. ![]() We call that a Running Pass in the business, by the way, and two Blitzers who can Catch on top of this? Why, it’s like raspberry sauce on aged cheese – remarkable. Remember, your Thrower is a Nobleman who can pass and then run into position afterwards. If this is the case, you have now opened up your option for a passing play. Marching the cage upfield won’t be difficult being protected by Bodyguards and Retainers and there may be some moments against slower teams where your Blitzers may be able to make a break and get into the backfield. Having your remaining Retainers act as a screen around the cage will also frustrate any team since they can Fend off blitzers or any encroaching blockers. Four Bodyguards building a cage can be very daunting to break. This gives them time to position around a ball carrier. Again, you may not want to start them on the line of scrimmage unless they are helping with assists. Dealing with teams who are too dim to do anything but throw fists, it will be best to cage your ball carrier with Bodyguards, since they are very tough to push around. Oh, my, thinking of sauce has given me an idea- Nathaniel? Be a dear and get some of that raspberry sauce for my cheese. ![]() Against bashier teams, although you have decently durable players, your Retainers could be boot sauce if you aren’t careful. If there is a way to throw hits effectively, then set up your team to take advantage of assists. Is it a team who tends to be more bashy, a team who relies on speed, or a combination of the two? When setting up, it might behoove you to only place three Retainers on the line of scrimmage if there is not a way to begin the game by knocking your opponents down or off the pitch because they are stronger than you. In creating our offensive line, we need to understand who it is we are playing against. The dynamics of Throwers and Blitzers easily allow for a passing and/or a rushing game in getting those touchdowns. Although Commoners are not quite as adept as Noblemen, the Bodyguards and Retainers are essential in allowing Throwers and Blitzers to do what they do best: score touchdowns. In turn, of course, we must protect these valuable players with our Bodyguards and our Retainers (and the brutish assistance from an Ogre if you have one). ![]() ![]() Like finding a wonderful cheese to pair with an exquisite wine, such that I have here, we must look at how we pair our Throwers with the Blitzers. Black Orcs are a perfect example of this … and if you somehow believe I might be referring to that team coached by Gorn N’hleg, the Bytown Maulers, then you’re following along nicely! However, knowing how to use the Imperial Nobility’s versatility is key here. Some teams use only dumb, brute strength to obtain success because their peanut-sized brains can’t comprehend anything past punching and drooling. To properly wield the weapons available to these teams, a brilliant coach, such as myself, is needed. Imperial Nobility teams are head and shoulders above many other teams thanks to one thing: versatility. ![]()
