Hi! Just a question: sometimes, when I have a team with lots of Guard (e.g. Chaos Dwarves) against an elf team or something like that with little to no Guard, I do this setup where I put blockers with Guard from e7-e9 (Guard in the middle being the most critical), and another player on f6 and f10. This means that the two on f6 and f10 are potentially vulnerable to Quick Snap, but if Quick Snap doesn't happen, there's pretty much no way for the enemy to get any 2D blocks on the three players on the LoS provided they have no S4s (since they can't put a player on e6 and get a second assist against e7 that way, as e6 is in f6's tacklezone), and so it's very likely that the enemy team simply won't be able to hurt the line of scrimmage at all unless they're willing to risk 1D blocks. Do you think there's any merit to this strategy?
Ahreta yep, definitely. As with all rules of thumb there are times to break them, and if you have high armour and are playing against low strength then that can work.
I know you siad you like to kick off first, but I like to receive first due to the fact some of my players have mighty blow/claw. Hopefully take out a couple of his players on the first turn and have the numbers on your side right away. What do you think of that theory of receiving first?
there are certainly situations where you might want to receive to give control of the game - if the opponent has secret weapons, for example. And yes, in tournaments where you are confident of removing players in the first couple of turns it can be good. But I think that those are the exception rather than the rule.
A little too late for me since now i'm an expert since the covid started and decided to put all my free time into learning and improving my playstyle But still this is very helpful for starters
So you're cruising YT advice BB videos after you became an expert? I'm not sure what country you're stranded in, but we've been out of our lock downs a year ago.

Which software are you using in the video? I think it's very helpful for making setups and other positioning experiments.

Mike Davies Thank you! Great video!
What place do you think is best for the mino?
The bench ! 🤣🤣 he always fails me!
Fairly central, so that he can go to whichever side is necessary. On offence, set him up to get a 3 dice block, and not get caught by frenzy!
Is it just me or is the audio not synced up right?
any particular times where it matters? Hopefully it's OK!
