For the longest time, I have built my teams in a fairly traditional manner. Play games, use the winnings to replace players and buy the services of an apothecary, then begin purchasing new players. Looking at some of the teams I have faced recently, I have begun to question this philosophy. Every new player purchased adds to the Team Rating, and sometimes the base TR of a player does not adequately reflect the utility of that player. So, my intention is to play more games with the intent of gaining my players skills, while spending cash only to purchase replacements for slain players and investing in further rerolls. I will use the Grandfather's Blessings for this experiment, and will attempt to chronicle my results as I go. Feel free to comment, cheer us on, or laugh at the pathetic failures that are certain to occur as I attempt to bring the Blessings of Grandfather Nurgle across the lands.
