i was actually listening to a great acoustic cover (by the wild colonial bhoys) of alternative ulster when i started watching the elfball review. i thought something was wrong with my speakers. weird. great review and glad to see other geeks into good punk.

Great summary! I will probably just follow this script when I teach people to play.

Two points:

1. Throwing. You had it 99% correct however you stated the +2 penalty was when you were throwing more than half of your Jog. It's actually when you are throwing more than half of the maximum passing distance. So for the long passes which are up to 18 hexes you get a +2 mod when you throw 10 or more hexes, and for the short passes that are 6 or less you get a +2 when you throw 4 or more.

2. The company wisely has streamlined the rules a bit to make them easier and create less randomness. The catch rules have been integrated into the throwing table for example.

Also the rulebook is available for FREE on Impact Miniature's website. The rules as they are right now are very smooth and very fun. The decrease both randomness and playtime.

Great review! I look forward to visiting your site and seeing more.

A very good review as always. Please let us, your fans, know if you need help with any of the Web development business?

Thank you for a great review! You have helped me correct some basic challenge errors I have been perpetuating!

Very nice review ... there are three errors we found in it.

1) As Pariah already pointed out ... throws are short or long based on distance thrown and if you moved or not (not on Jog). So if you move before or after the throw (1-3 hexes is short / 4-6 is long). If you don't move before or after its (1-9 hex is short / 10-18 is long).

2) On a Tackle or Shove for a teammate to give your opponent the +1 success needed the teammate has to be adjacent and facing to the opponent throwing the tackle/shove not the teammate. In the example he's adjacent to the teammate but not the opponent.

3) When tackling (or shoving) from behind a player you get a -1 modifier to the successes needed.

Like I said ... nice review ... just wanted to point these 3 items out if folks were using the video to learn the rules of the game.
