How the team plays

Elven Union is the passing team. Elf Linemen cost 65k with AG 2+, PA 3+ and Fumblerooski, and the Elf Thrower has PA 2+ with Pass and Hail Mary Pass, so the ball goes long whenever the coach wants. The Elf Catcher is MA 8 with Catch, Diving Catch and Nerves of Steel, which means he receives inside a tackle zone without the penalty. Blitzers, MA 7 with Block and Sidestep, do what little blocking the team does. Everyone has AV 8+ except the Blitzers at AV 9+, and ST 3 is the only strength value on the roster.

The team scores quickly and often, usually a Thrower to Catcher pass on turn two or a Catcher running the length of the pitch. It also loses players every match: Linemen marked by Mighty Blow players do not last, and a long league is paid for in replacements. A bash team that catches the Elves standing still is what hurts. The league is the Elven Kingdoms League.

Building a starting roster

Re-rolls are 50k for Elven Union, which helps a roster this dear. The usual 1,000,000 gp build takes two Elf Blitzers (230k), two Catchers (200k), one Thrower (75k) and six Linemen (390k), 895k for eleven, plus two re-rolls at 100k for 995k. A second Thrower and the apothecary wait; most coaches would rather have the second Catcher from the start and buy the apothecary with the first win. Cheaper lists take one Catcher and a seventh Lineman, 860k, and keep 40k in the bank after two re-rolls.

Advice for newer coaches

Score when the chance appears rather than stalling; an Elven Union side that stands around gets hit, and a two-turn touchdown is normal for this roster. Put the Catcher in the opponent's half before you throw, so Nerves of Steel does the work when he is marked. Remember the Blitzers' Sidestep on defence: they can hold a lane the opponent expects to push open. Avoid leaving Linemen within a square of a Mighty Blow blocker at the end of your turn; AV 8+ breaks and they cost 65k each.
