First, I'd like to start by declaring that American Football shall henceforth be known as simply 'Football.' Everything else formerly called Football is hereby to be called Gayball.

Cant use that, the name is copyrighted. It is what rugby players call the NFL game becouse of the armor, helmet and heavy protections

That's like a naked slinger calling the heavy infantry cowards for wearing their helmets, shields, armor, and swords...

And then proceeding to kill the heavily-armed Goliath and decapitate him with his own sword.

Here's my mage-only battle formation. This is for when the enemy is using supercombatants or other mage-only armies in which normal units would die in seconds.

In reply to the American Football comparison with Rugby....

As a Linebacker in college and a Flanker in Rugby at the present I would like to submit this comparison I have heard before.

Soccer...A gentlemens sport played by Ruffians

Rugby....A Ruffians sport played by Gentlemen

American football...A Ruffians sport played by Ruffians

Having no foot skills of my own I can't answer for soccer, but after playing American Football for 12 years and Rugby for almost 30 years (sigh...yes I am that old), I prefer to play the Grand 'ol' hybrid game of THUGBY or "Hit to Kill" and run faster than the opponent!!

Hmm, I think cavalry flanking with 'attack rear' orders might cause some problems, unless the mages retreated quickly.

Well, as for the American football analogy, I can only say that if you are facing 300 pound monsters that have used steroids and hgh growth hormone for the last 10 to 15 years, I think I would want to have on as much pads/armor as possible.
