- Having money counts against your team value, and your team value determines what you face.
- Don't be afraid to release some guys if they get crippled up to the point that they're no longer useful. Since they are also increasing your team value, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get rid of a guy and hire a replacement.
- Rerolls are a godsend, and if I recall they're discounted during team creation. Get at least a couple!
- I'd honestly suggest looking up some guides or videos on it if you've never played Blood Bowl before in general. A lot of the basic stuff is fairly common sense, but there's a bunch of traps.
- Each unit can only act once, so if you move somebody and then move somebody else and then you decide you want to blitz and have the first guy tackle, too late, can't be done. Its like chess, once you take your hand off a figure, its stuck.
- Learn the rules as far as what gets rolled when, do your turn in order from safest to least safe activity (which is kinda awkward to get used to) since if there's a turnover, that ends your turn there. But potentially prioritize key plays as well in case something else that's fairly likely ends up being a turnover anyways.
- Get some re-rolls and only do risky rolls when you have them. You generally want situations where you roll the two happy dice and pick one. Even then you'll get fucked sometimes. If you can only roll a single die, that's dangerous, and make sure you at least have a re-roll ready, or otherwise don't do it. Rolling the unhappy dice is pretty much guaranteed to screw you over.
- Learn the strengths and weaknesses and play-styles of the factions and pick yours carefully based on what you think is fun to do. Orks form a big donut and walk the ball in, and then beat up the other team. Elves pass the ball and dodge like crazy so they ignore tackle zones. A dotted line will stop the orks guaranteed, although some of your players may get pushed or knocked out. Elves on the other hand can go right through that dotted line as though it wasn't even there.
- Mostly just play a whole lot. You're going to lose but hopefully you'll figure out why as you go. Play a bunch of comp stomps until you feel confident, then you can consider fighting other players.
