Warrior General Games

I seem to recall hearing that Line General SA isn't effective, or doesn't even work at all...
Is this incorrect? Is Liner General worth having on a starting C?

there's no way to track it. anything you've heard would be anecdotal at best if true, and could be direct misinformation...

It's easy to get, so why not get it? You could do 10+ with EQ bonuses alone, and still get 24+% Hold Block, so why not?

I'm trying to figure out if its worth it to get for my 4th AEQ-
rolled it in the store, but i don't want to get it if its useless...

3 HB% pancake, CE in pancake.

Truth and it fits several SA'a (and many VA's as well). Either you believe it'll work as it's written but there is no way to actually KNOW it works as it's supposed to. Fine example is one (VA) that's been argued about for a LONG time... CLUTCH. If you read it, it would seem like one of the best VA's you could get! However, there is NO WAY to know IF it works, IF it works the way it SAYS it works, WHEN it works/fires... anything at all. You either believe it does what it says or you don't.

I prefer 1HB%, 1 in pancake, 1 in Aura, with CE in HB%.

don't invest in pancake myself, seems that guards and tackles do just fine getting cakes without it. I do like cut block though.

I notice a difference with and without pancake. Cut block is good. Can definitely tell the difference between cut block and no cut block.

yes you can see a cut block which is cool but usually takes the player out of the play but at the same time takes the dt or de from the play also opening up some nice holes.

I usually go with two hb%, pummel, aura and maybe cut block if I don't end up with enough skpt's to build cut block up

if that's the case...

==
If you're a pass block C and

As long as you have at least 2 HB% pieces, and would consider using your CEQ as HB%, then it's probably worth the BT savings, and knowing your end build target for BTs

I'd grab it, do 4 SPs in it and call it good at 9. Then take the Natural Leader VA to 10+. C's can't use Pulling lineman, so you've got the points

BT savings, which is basically extended training time, can be a very under rated benefit

==
If you're a run block C, it might not be worth getting. Even maxed at 6 it's not going to pop, which means you're going to have to invest in a few SAs worth of SPs. Even 1-1-1-1-2 at least would be 8 SPs minimum, and 15 SPs would be your realistic top end (1-1-1-2-4). If you were already planning on spending in the top tree anyway, it might be less of a stretch, but that's getting into a pretty steep opportunity cost.

It works.

Look at your play-byplay in the game summary.

Their IS a minor Stamina boost from one play to the next.
I've also seen Morale <100, go up a little, after a no-gain.

Coupled with a QB sporting "Field General" also.....

Is it significant though, and can be quantitatively shown to boost those dots affected game play?

I've seen it work.
I use it.

I don't expect my QB to have much FG as she's a scrambler,
so i thought if i got the 9 LG from my C it might compensate...
Note that we use a pQB as well, so half the plays our QB will (hopefully)
have more FG than the couple my QB will, but I can't say for sure.
You still think its worthwhile, if i can't guarantee its going to be matched by an equal FG?

The topic was LG.

Since you brought it up, FG is invaluable. All ppQB & dpQB should have this.
SAs play off of the Attribute score that your player has. In these cases, the Attribute is Confidence.
If your player's Confidence is low, well then; does any of this matter?
