@@Idharae That kind of information can be really good to get from streamers. There are usually good players in the chat and you can learn a ton on the fly. I can't speak for RD but I found this channel a while back at under a hundred subs and it was all one turn videos and began recommending it to a lot of folks. What you're describing is more comprehensive and is really useful knowledge but also ends up being niche. Basically it takes a ton of scripting, editing, takes and retakes, etc but will capture less of an audience than something that is very technical and high level or very approachable and casual. Things like that are a lot of work with less and less reward the more that gets included. I can't speak for the creator and their plans but I've ended up privating most of my medium level blood bowl content and I either make shorts, short duration basic rule videos or only do longform videos covering bigger tournaments now. I'll also do interviews but they take significantly less effort to edit. All of this is just my take and experience but I have no doubt that if you have any specific questions after watching a vid that somebody will get to them in the comments and it will help the creator too.

I agree with your point about giving more advice, particularly with matchups etc. for the star players. However, I run the risk of starting to give out bad opinions or advice if I were to waffle on too much. 🤣 I decided to mainly just show case them.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there @N3rdNetwork. I did a video a while ago showing a particular scenario and how I scored from it. I think it's the least viewed video on this channel!

@@runningdragon That's fair, I guess you have to cater to your audience on this platform. Out of interest, which vid was this?

It's this one: th-cam.com/video/OfqKEUEg8aE/w-d-xo.html -It's not a particularly well presented problem, but I think it shows how there is more interest in specific topics. The only one that did worse was the "Frog ASMR", which was just a joke video. 🤣 I've gone with the "I look at some stuff and share it" approach, with the focus on new players. I was interested in one turns originally as I couldn't find good info on how to do the "medium" and "wide" setups. I thought I'd present what I thought were the best ones on TH-cam and wait for the corrections to roll in. I did take down a few videos where myself (or someone else) later found an issue. I fancied taking a look at all the star players in BB3, as wanted to understand how all the Special Rules worked, in case I faced them. So decided to record and share it (I didn't realise there were 33 when I first started!).

Indeed!

Yeah, my Ghouls got nuked by Cindy the other day...😭

@@runningdragon funny you should say that, i had the same happen to my beautiful mummy (Guard Block Stand Firm) :( he will be missed

😭

Thanks Andy, much appreciated!

Glad it helped!

You're welcome!

You're welcome! I'm glad they have been useful.

Yes, AG3 ones are a lot harder without backlining. A lot of people still backline though to protect their players. I do plan to do some more non-backlining ones...

@@runningdragon you don’t generally backline 8 of your 11 fielded players, i get it, you are showing a OTTD but shaven and any move 8 can go for it on an onside grab and OTTD. Keep up the vids!

I quite often see coaches backlining on turn 8 & 16, which is when you'd attempt a 1TTD. Also in BB3 infinite ladder, it is arguabley better to protect the team than win the game (especially when protecting randomly skilled players).

@@runningdragon I agree, i do often see backlining, especially in ladder. However, it WOULD be interesting to see some example setups of how to deal with other setups (like regular boat/anchor setups or chevrons for example) because they often make getting the blitz or necessary pushes more difficult)

Backlining is pretty standard even in tournament. No one wants to loose a player blitzed by a frenzy claw wolf.

Hi. I just start "Friendly hot seat matches" to try them.

Touchback was the middle column and doing a 2+ pass the right-hand column. (You don't need a pass if you get a touchback). I added the probably of getting a pow/defender stumbles to getting a push (as the former an extra roll prevents the dodge away). The 2d/2 syntax means "2 dice block with 2 successful outcomes). There used to be a bot that would accept syntax like that. I use www.bloodbowldave.com these days.

Hi! Yes, and you don't kill your player too on failure! :) It's even better now in BB2020 rules to Rush if you have more than one re-roll: 2+3+ is 55.6% success (0 re-rolls) 83.3% (1 re-roll) 86.4% 2 re-rolls vs 4+ is 50% success (0 re-rolls) 75% (1 re-roll) AND 2+2+4+ is 34.7% success (0 re-rolls) 63.7% (1 re-roll) 70.4% 2 re-rolls vs 5+ is 33.3% (0 re-rolls) 55.6% (1 re-roll) There is this website where you test various plays: www.bloodbowldave.com

There's a link in the description. It's pretty handy for practising chain pushes!

Thanks for our chat earlier! (This 1TTD was recommended super-grandmaster KFoged!)

Thanks for the comment! - That's a nice idea for this setup if you have a full team. I kept that saurus unmarked two squares below the ogre in case the Cameleon skink could not get to the square to fill it during a hand-off (so does a throw instead). The saurus could then move right 1 square (required for the first chain-push after the Blitz). I guess it should probably be moved two places to the left to help protect the Chamelion from a Blitz kick-off event...

Throwing is much easier, see the comment that got added to the video. The actual 6 push one-turn is insanely hard if you also have to throw, catch and dodge through a back-line. I did probabilities on the similar Chaos 1TTD video, which are around 0.03%!

For the sequence shown using bloodbowldave: 2D5;SH:U3,R2,2;C3;L4:2,2,3;D:4,D3,D3,D3 It gives: 0 re-rolls: 5.5% 1 re-rolls: 14.8% 2 re-rolls: 21.4% 3 re-rolls: 24.1% However, a throw of 6 would have given a 3+ landing instead of 4+. There are so many other factors that would also influence this. Some include: Positives Touchback so the Goblin gets the ball straight away Opponent player on the LoS getting stunned by a kick off event Quick Snap kick off event Negatives The Kick might make the hand off impossible, or may required extra Rushes. Perfect Defense kickoff event (players can be put in front of Troll and Goblin, with a better double screen covering the landing zone) Ball retriever, Troll or Goblin getting stunned by a kick off event Might get a Blizzard, or Rain weather event The landing scatter direction might involve a Rush by the Goblin. The opponent on the LoS having the Block or Stand Firm skills etc. I'll let someone else work out the grand total probability! 😀

@@runningdragon thats fantastic, I'm not too worried about integrating ALL the possibilitites. Thank you!

Amost certainly better odds to just set up for the Timeout kick-off event and go for a 2 turn. But if they haven’t backlined, there's always that chance of a touchback... Yes, good idea to do the beast first and then switch to pows for damage and spp if it goes stupid.

You're welcome!

Thanks for the comment! Hopefully some more coming soon...

Thanks for this comment! :)

It took 6 attempts to do it, but I was cheating with bad kicks to get a touchback... 😀

It was a standard hotseat game. There's a button at the bottom to toggle the tackle zones.

Hi. There's a link to the website I used in the description.

Yes. One way is that you can use a Wolf on the LoS to frenzy push into a hole. Then get 3 pushes on the other Wolf who will be your scorer. This wolf can then blitz through the back line (extra useful is there is a strength 2 on the back line). Even with an all strength 3 back line, you turn a 5+4+3+ dodge into a 5+ (pow) or a "3-4 (push),5+ (pow)" or a "3-4 (push),3-4 (push),3+ (dodge)".

Thank you! Cheers!

There's some more on the way! 😀

Hi, glad they are useful! The probability in the left column is just for the pushes, not the score. The middle column is the score with a touchback and the right-column the score for getting the ball to the ball carrier and scoring.
