So...
Raiding Party: Once per drive, whenever Ivar begins his activation, he may choose one Open player on his team within 5 squares. The chosen player may immediately move one square, ignoring tackle zones, though they must end this move Marking an opposition player.
Makes OTT a bit more tricky & entering a cage not as possible as I had originally thought.
How have you or how will you use his special rule  |

I just played the world cup with Ivar, and was happy with him.
You can't enter a cage with the power, BUT :
- in offense, if the opponent makes a double line 1 square away of one of your players, you can use a block on the first line and use the blitz to crush the second line.
- in defense, raiding party is usefull to gain a block on the pilar of the cage, then blitz the carrier with a valkyrie for example. |

very usefull too, when a pick me up roll from a beer boar works : it creates an unexpected block where the opponent thought to be strong. |

I like it most on defense where you position yourself 1 square away from the cage and force the opponent to keep moving until they make a mistake. Kind of like a bomb or wizard, it adds something extra they have to respect that ups the odds of a misplay |

it seems pretty powerful, especialyl since it's once per drive, rather than per game. it's one of those rules that changes the way people play, where they normally have to only worry about one player per turn moving and then blocking. Expensive piece, but a cool rule. |

There is a way to enter a cage so long as there is an opposition player there that loses his tackle zone due to a trait & one of your players marking that player & of course Ivar within 5 squares. |

Yes indeed. Another cool thing with him : loner 3+ instead of 4+. He's almost like a pro. |
