Do you take out the Vamps or the Thralls?

If I remember rightly Vampires in BB are rock hard, equivelent to trolls and ogres. If you have the ability and combined might to take him down then go for it as you will get rid of one of his valuable players. If you can but knock him down you will hopefully have the chance to stomp on him as well.
Otherwise try to avoid him as much as possible or try to limit his potential to do damage by moving out of his area of control forcing him to have to blitz if he wants to attack one of your players.

They are tougher than normal and also have high agility, 4's for both. I think I'll hit them with my rat ogre where possible and gang up on the rest, I've just noticed that their armour value is only one more than the thralls. So with some good assists I can get two dice blocks on a couple of them.
With their high strength, they'll only need one assist to get on level terms with my rat ogre and if that bad boy goes out of action, I fear I'll be in trouble

Well I got totally owned!! Two dead players, one injured and 1 ko'd by half time! My luck with the dice totally deserted me, must've been evening itself out after my long bomb touchdown with the orcs the match before.
My thrower totally let me down by failing to pick the ball up, on a 2+ even with a re-roll, then fell over when trying to dodge causing two turn overs. I decided to call it a day at the 2nd turn of the 2nd half, I was already 2-0 down with rats dropping like flies, plus it was 1am and I was making stupid mistakes that were punishing me even further.
How the hell do you compete with 5 vamps with strength and agility of 4?? I can't run round them like tghe dwarves and orcs, as they get to move 6. At least i can stay away from black orcs who can only move 4

Bah I got beat with my orcs as well, 3-0. I quite unfairly said it was nothing to do with my mates tactics and all to do with his over powered team stats, anyone got any advice of how to compete with them, as I fear it's going to be a one horse race in our league.
My Skaven got the crap kicked out of them (even more than normal) and even my orcs got out muscled and then outplayed with their high agility.
I've tried taking out the vamps, then tried taking out the thralls but with the new points there's always enough thralls on the pitch to end the vamps turn near one, so it proved irrelevant.

Hehe my vampire team > all!
But seriously why do so many tactic sites say take 2 or 3 vamps at most? 5 are doing wonders for me.
It'll be interesting to see how the match plays out against my pro elves as the vamps wont be in my control anymore. My tactic will be....a secret until the game.
