AndyDavo's Want to get better at Blood Bowl? How to Chain push and Crowd Surf!

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

What should the next video focus on? Was this helpful?

[@odgeUK]

This was REALLY good. It helped on two fronts, realising that I can chain push players into range for things OTHER than 1TTD and also the Chevron defensive flank setup, as I'm forever getting my two guys defending the wide zone, blitzed and bypassed down the sideline, by agility teams in Turn 1. I'd like to see a 1TDD Chain push video (I know there are a few examples, but I still struggle to 'see' the moves I need) and also maybe a video on probability in real situations..e.g....If my ball carrier is based, but in reach of the Endzone, what's better? Blitz with the Ball Carrier and run on, or get another team member to blitz the enemy player, freeing up the tackle zones on the ball carrier? etc You touch on it at 24:51

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

helpful feedback, thank you!

[@rightfool6436]

Another great video! I really find your thoughts on goals for each turn and ordering of actions the most helpful. I am struggling most with offence particularly when my opponent is being passive and just screening me off from moving forward. Anything on how you should go about breaking that down would be interesting.

[@christianvonbonin8162]

This was fantastic, thank you so much! One thing at least I'm struggling with is the positional play on both offence and defence. You touched on it several times in this game and sparked ideas (and more questions). That could maybe be a topic of one of these episodes. No matter the topic, please keep these analyses coming. They are great!

[@christianvonbonin8162]

....Aaand I notice that I'd missed the Dark Elfs vs Khemri control clip.

[@Oxtrooo]

Fuck me. that chainpush onto the ball was nuts. well done andy. never thought of that

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

haha! Thanks! :)

[@negate3864]

Got out my board to help visualize that 3 push chain.

squares for days there

[@mtuktuk9627]

My fav videos atm, as always realy informativ

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Glad you like them! I just need to get them to a wider audience (shares etc to other FB groups for example)

[@eben01]

This is one of the best BB videos I've watched. The content was well presented and carefully thought through. Honest analysis, and bang on subject. Will be subscribing.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Thank you! If you ever want to share it, to help me get the word out, that would be epic

[@eben01]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl already have passed it on to a couple of friends - needed to be careful which ones see it... Until after I've played them in our league ;-)

[@blakeastorey1]

Only 1/4 through this and its so freakin informative!!!!! Love this Andy! Ive paused to see if I can figure out 2d on the ball!

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Feel free to *SHARE* these videos with people... ;)

[@ruioliveira1832]

Well, since you asked for it :D The only question I had is when you pick up the ball, on turn 7. The SH goat picks up the ball and goes on square backwards, when it seems like every square forward is important. Other than that, I think I was able to follow everything. I was unable to figure out either of the "How do you surf here?" questions on my own. It's just miles ahead of my BB skills. But it was fun to try, and I learned - I think - how to look for it. I don't really have a suggestion for "Want to get better at Blood Bowl?" videos, I think they work better when you see something during one of the games you think it's useful, like this one. On this one you discussed the deployments, which was great because it's always a difficult tactical point for new players (or bad players, like me). Thank you for the video. I enjoy the chit chat during your games (most often I watch them on youtube) but learn a lot more from these videos than just trying to follow a regular game while I paint.

Did you see I mentioned you specifically?

[@ruioliveira1832]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl I did... and you'd be happy to know that it was so unexpected I gasped... which had two effects: I was eating so I sprayed crumbs all over the table and my wife asked me is everything was ok :D

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

@@ruioliveira1832 hahahahaha!! brilliant!

[@JorisVDC]

I would reckon he stepped a square back to be out of the Blitzing range. No point in trying to move the ball forward if you don't have it in hand anymore.

[@ruioliveira1832]

@@JorisVDC I thought so, but I couldn't see who would reach that square. Thanks.

[@noaheisenberg8668]

Wonderful video Andy! Learned a lot from this.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

thanks man!

[@blakeastorey1]

Ok first 11 mins are amazing! I couldn't see it coming!

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

hehe! Glad you liked them

[@odgeUK]

Aiming to score in three turns with a Bash Team. I wish I could manage this! I would expect almost any team to be able to screen that off fairly easily. I'm surprised the Dark Elf player left his flanks open too, rather than just screen right across the width of the pitch. Ultimately the RIOT Kick-off put pay to that, but very interesting watch!

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Good idea. I'll see if we get a good video to do a 3 turn on

[@JorisVDC]

Good thing that the new Kick-off table will prevent Riots from running down the clock at the end of a drive.

[@JorisVDC]

@@AndyDavoBloodBowl That's a great idea. You do a very good job at explaining how the thought process needs to go. I can easily see why you are such a good coach, you know the long term goals and the tactics to achieve success.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

@@JorisVDC Honestly, I think tht my win rate is where it is because I understand, not because im super - I think people can get here too, they just need to understand the "why"

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

@@JorisVDC 100% agree.

Thx Andy, as always very helpful

you're welcome!

"The most dangerous player in a game of Blood Bowl is Hubris" I thought this was a deep quote for a second.

[@peterfiser]

Thanks, I learned a lot.

oh wow - glad this is still helpful!

AndyDavo's Blood Bowl 2 top analysis man keep up the great work 🙌🏻

[@christianvonbonin8162]

Those were great chainpushing examples. Will have to focus on the boxes and T shapes in my own games! Thanks for another great analysis video, please keep them coming!

@@christianvonbonin8162 I'll commit to at least 1 a week, mixed in with general twitch play

Thanks Andy, I've been enjoying and recommending this series :) What's the probability calculator that you mentioned in Turn 8? I didn't catch the name.

It's called Samba, here it is : www.elyoukey.com/sac/

Well done sir

glad you like!

[@76LoStraniero]

I think on turn 11 he should have bolted your ball carrier with the Wizard and tried to pick up the ball with the Star Player...

[@murraycampbell65]

Hey Andy - not very tech savvy. Not sure what a discord channel is. How do I contact you to arrange a coaching session?

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Discord is a program or app you can install. To say its a voice chat program would be like describing your mobile phone as only a phone. If you click the link in the description of this video then in the general channel do an @andydavo - i'll see you

[@kofiringo]

Hey andy ✌🏻Im interested in a coaching session. Where can i get more info ?

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Ping me a message on discord and we can take it from there

[@andreww2241]

Some nice chain pushing 1st half i watched this one live (i lurked) if you were not distracted by chat in 2nd half you would have won

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

yea - i might have. so might he. it was a close game

[@gergotothmihaly2307]

While the content is great and the whole video was very informative, it could have been better by being a bit more true to its title. You've explained those 2 (3?) pushes quite well, but more examples would have been good. Also, crowd surfing is in the title but you didn't mention them at all. I realise editing such a video is much more work, but imo the title is a bit misleading as it is now. Anyway, still very useful, thanks.

[@AndyDavoBloodBowl]

Push plays is probably more accurate bu less clickable i think. It has less searches too
