Dreadball Smackers versus Stealers
The Smackers began their career as pirates, ambushing lonely merchant vessels from their hideout on the green moon of Lanthis IV. Eventually they found some recordings of DreadBall games in the entertainment suite of the MVV Bilge Rat and, with little to do for months on end, started playing games among themselves. As their raids began to focus on stealing DreadBall equipment, they soon came to the notice of Digby, who decided to strike a deal and bring their raw talent to the big leagues. True to their origins, only Orx and Goblins can join the ranks of the Smackers and their imitators. It’s not always easy to get quality recruits, but then Goblins are known for their low standards at everything other than sliding out of trouble (and running away), so they’re happy to make do. Orx, on the other hand, can always be relied upon to thump things with little or no formal training. Orx and Goblins have different strengths and make an interesting combination. The most obvious tactic starts with using the brute might of the Orx to smash as many of your opponents as possible. Once there are few of them left standing, the fact that the Goblins are prone to dropping the ball is less of a worry. Sometimes it’s a problem not having Strikers, though you do get the best Guards to make up for it.
