The drills telex to the Human coach and the Ore coach; remember, ‘this means you! In Blood Bowl, player is used o refer to the plastic models If youre reading this by yourself youll be playing the part of both couches ‘Once you've gone through the three training drills here, xead through the rules themselves. They're divided into wo sections: the first part has al ofthe most important ‘core! rules, while che second part has optional advanced rules that male fora richer, more exciting game. We recommend that You stick to the core rules for yous first couple of games, then bring in the advanced rules as you see fit Before you carey on, you will need to assembletwo Human, Linemen and two Orc Linemen. Ifyeut havent already assembled them, You can find instrictions Om page 56: DRILL : Moving AND DoooiNG Set up the playing field in front of you and setup the four players as shown below. In Blood Bow, the wo coaches alternate taking turns one afer the other. When i's your turn, each of the players on ‘your team can do something this is called Yalking an Action ‘ach pliyer can only take one Action per turn. There are several to choose from, bu for now we'l focus on the one you'll be using the most: MOVE, “This dail takes place during the Human teams turn, 50 the ‘Human couch ean take Actions with their players, Note the capital H!— we assume that both coaches are probably hhumap, but here we'e referring to the one in charge ofthe Human team, They pick one oftheir Lineman and declare that they will rake a Move Action. This lets them move up ‘to six squates in any direction or combination of directions, {nchuding diagonally. It goes without saying that you cant ‘enter a square containing another player. Youll ned to clear ‘the way ist, which we'll coverin Drill “Hie Human Linehan movediv equate oregie iy standing next to the Ore Lineman as shown in the example above. Do this now! * ‘TACKLE ZONES AND DODGING ‘The Human coach wants to take a Move Action with their other Lineman, to get them away from the Oc Lineman, ‘Who can blame them? However, moving isnt so easy when theres an enemy player bresthing down your neck. ‘The eight squares around a player (the shaded spaces around the Ore Tiheman inthe example above} make up ts tackle ‘one. This represents the area itcan reach in ordee to grab or tackle opposing players. When one of your players leaves a square tha’ in an opposing player's tackle zou, you need 10 sake « Dodge roll ‘The Human player moves to their frst square, but before they can go any further, their coach makes a Dodge roll by rolling one of the normal six-sided dice. Do this now = move the Lineman one square away from the Oze, then roll che appropriate dice, Ifyou roll a3 or higher, your player dodges nimbly aside and can continue moving, On a t or, they fall down in the square they moved to and their move ends In ur example, the coach rolled as, so the players move carried on unimpeded. DRILL 2: BLOCKING AND BLITZIN First, make sure your board looks the same as the exemple ‘below.

Scoring touchdowns is, generally, how you ‘win games of Blood Bowl.

But don't worry about such tactics for now, first you need to master the basic plays SETTING UP THE GAME Before you start i'sa good idea to read through these rules atleast once so you get some idea of what you are doing. ‘Once you have done this, lay out the board and assemble the players. The owner ofthe game always gets the first choice as o which team they will play! Each coach will also need a Dugout, the appropriate player cards and the counters found ‘on the plastic frames with the player figures. Each cosch should place their Dugout behind orbeside one of the End Zones. This shows which halfof the pitch belongs.10 each team, You scorea touchdown by getting the bal into the / opposing team's End Zone Each couch should place a Turn marker inthe Fist Half square on the Turn tack, and a Score counter in ther Score ‘tack.
