Thanks for the reply. Enjoy your vids. I'm a truck driver on the road and won't get home for a couple of weeks. I have ordered and won an ebay bid and will have the 2018 APBA FB set, the Strat 1971 and 2018 sets waiting for me. Can't wait to get started.
on the running portion of the cards, I noticed under the "Wrong" column, some of the entries had 2 outcomes, like: +2 (+12). What is the result in parens represent?
Yes, I know they are d6's. I am playing a d10 game and it has kind of permeated most references to d-anything lately. Another correction, when you roll 1-3, you refer to either the ball carrier's or the QUARTERBACK's card, not the intended receiver. You only look at the intended receiver's card when the QB card instructs you to do so. And, yes, 11 offensive player cards. There may be more players that might qualify for a card. You can order the Nameless Player Cards from Strat-O-Matic to fill any perceived voids in your roster. Anywho, enjoy the video.
I have forced it in a little over an hour using an egg timer set to 15 minutes for each quarter, stopping only after a TD or a score. Personally, I take two hours to play a football game at a comfortable place, Strat, APBA, either way.
I believe you can try one from his furtherst range, up to 63(?) yards I think, where a roll of 2 is good. You cannot attempt a field goal which is greater than 63 yards long. You can attempt a field goal that is longer than the listed range on the place kicker’s card, as long as it is not longer than 63 yards. This “desperation” type of kick is considered good if the red dice total 2.

It will be a lot of fun. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Chris. You are doing a great job. I an a new SOM gamer. I appreciate the videos and I noticed that you know the sport very well.
Thanks, Michael. There is a lot of knowledge and examples from which to draw on YT. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do. Welcome.
Thanks for the plug.....BTW Nice Teaching Video....MLG
Please keep these coming. I just bought the game (arrived yesterday), so am completely new to SOM Football.
I do mostly solitaire projects and it is great, but there is NO matching head to head, face to face!!!! :-)
I will go over a couple more videos today, then. I will do penalties. I will also cover basic gameplay. You are going to love this game.
Looks like it runs much smoother than APBA Football; all the chart flipping in APBA is almost a deal breaker
For the uninitiated, I agree. But I cut my teeth on APBA football. Even out of practice for decades, for me it's like riding a bike.

In advanced, there is a matchup between a key offensive blocker and defender. If the offensive player is better, use the better outcome.

Please make a video playing advance thanks you very good at it thanks
Hey Chris about how long would you say a strat football game would play? I've played the hockey and baseball but never played the football.
I have forced it in a little over an hour using an egg timer set to 15 minutes for each quarter, stopping only after a TD or a score. Personally, I take two hours to play a football game at a comfortable place, Strat, APBA, either way.
Very well done, we need more SOM football videos... There are few and far between. Any thought to doing any gameplay video?
Great Job!
At some point. I will need to get a recording device that will go longer than one half hour.
