Solutions to Challenges

A guide to get as low a number of dice rolls in the Challenges of Blood Bowl 2

Description

These are my best attempts at solving the challenges in Blood Bowl 2 with the lowest number of dice used.
Since a Blood Bowl field is 26x15 fields I will be using the pseudo chess notation of Row A to the left going to Row O to the right and line 1-26 where needed, so the nearest end zone is A1-O1.

When determining block rolls the dice are picked from the same pool as the rest and converted using the following table:

• 6=Pow
  
• 5=Defender stumbles (pow with !)
  
• 3-4=Push
  
• 2=Both down
  
• 1=Skull

If you have a better solution with fewer dice required, please post in the comments.

Anyone for bowling? in 41:
(Always take defender down, push choices don't matter unless specified)

Move I9 left, right, right, right
Move H11 right, down, left (chain pushing F10 to E9)
Move E9 left, right left
Move G8 up, right, left, up

It may be possible to do better, I focused on initiating 2 die blocks moving on a 2 or 1 die blocks moving on a 4 to prevent armour breaks (without going for it these actions give you a 6 for your next move).
The method above probably has room for improvement by aiming for more 1 die blocks and reducing GFIs (also final block resulted in an armour break).

[Ylarr]

You can complete Hot Potato with 17 dice by using the enemy team to skip passing to the pogoer: Bombadier throw to F8 (1 dice, pass)
Enemy lineman intercepts and will throw to I9 (enemy actions seem to count as no dice)
Intercept with goblin in H9 (1 dice, intercept)
(Total saving of 2 dice)
Then continue passing to the troll etc.

Nice work.
