Dwarfs chosen and several games played
So I've switched to dwarfs from chaos. They seem pretty solid and can take a beating which is good for me right now. I appreciated all the comments and suggestions for races.
One thing I've found is that my 'big hitter' is always going to get banned from the game after one restart, which is a shame 'cause he is loads of fun.
I'd like to think I've had a couple of bad rolls which have turned the games against me but it's probably more to do with my play order (who'd have thought you could fail a 3+ pick up with sure hands!).
Quick question is there any way to invite a player into a game? I have a friend who I'd like to play against but can't seem to figure out how to invite him to play.
Having a great time, and players are very friendly. All comments very welcome!

Playing your friends is part of what the [L]eague division is for. So just both make a league team, click the play link next to the team, and agree on a game name to enter.

Oh yeah and Deathrollers are funny but they will not make you win.

Make a team in R and it is easy to chose with who you want to play. Your big hitter is fun to play with, but since you ussualy play with him just a couple of turns it is not a great deal, esspecialy on low tv-s. And as Homer Simpson would say: "What are the chances to fail pick up with ag3 surehands dwarf runner - One in a million!"

Do as the_Sage says, keep it to L with friends.
I had an ag 3 sure hands skeleton and an ag 3 thro rah who between them couldn't pick up the ball for 4 turns. By this time the enemy was at the door and killed the ag 3 skeleton. Nuffle teaches those who fail.

Play with friends in L and from speccing one of your games I suggest having a read through the rulebook :)
GL with the dwarves in B though.

You are playing with too few rerolls, solid starting rosters are:
4 Chaos Warriors
7 Beastmen
3 Rerolls
2 Dwarf Blitzers
1 Runner
1 Trollslayer
7 Blockers
3 Rerolls
You can change a blocker to one more troll slayer but he is a bit more squishy and frenzy can cause you trouble if you are not careful.
But most important have fun, which you seem to have, so keep at it. :)

Several people have commented saying that I have too few rerolls... and I agree.
However I don't have enough cash to buy more rerolls yet, would people suggest I start a new team to 'get it right' or stick it out until I have enough cash to buy more?

Personally i'd start a fresh roster, the extra TV added by buying re-rolls after starting you team will be a pain later.
They're the only thing that doubles in cost, so i personally get as many as i can (or can work with) without totally crippling my team.
The guides in the Help section are great, and the starting rosters (http://fumbbl.com/help:LRB6RaceStrategy) really help you get an idea of where to start with each race.

Buying rerolls later on will cost you double monies, but wont add double the TV. I would just play a few games until you have those 2-3 rerolls. No need retiring a team for such a tiny and fixable mistake. I always regret retiring any team, but maybe not everyone has that quirk.

Also, high AG teams or those with plenty of skills need less rerolls. Chaos & Dwarves probably want 3 or even 4, but your elves could get away with 2.
