Hi All

I assume a number of you have now picked up and read Deathzone Season 2. One thing that stood out to me, that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, was that the infamous coaching staff rules weren't included in the Optional Rules section. Instead they were in the New Rules section along with the new teams. So from that we can only deduce that infamous coaching staff aren't optional, and are new inducements coming for all games, and will be added to FUMBBL in due time.

So who are they, and what do they do?
For those that haven't read it I'll give a brief overview.

There's 6 of them, they're inducements, and like star players they're only available to selected teams, and teams can't both have the same one.

Teams: Any Team
Ability: "Take This! Ooops..." Once per half Horatio can cast a fireball. Timing is the same as old Wizard. Fireball scatters D3 squares in D8 direction. Players hit on 4+ and with Mighty Blow, as Fireball.

Name: Kari Coldsteel, Norse Cheerleader
Cost: 50k
