New Kicking Rules
 
1 Attachment(s)
Attached are some new rules that I have been using in my solitaire play to create more realistic action for kick offs, onside kicks, and safety kicks.

The basics are that a kicker figure (TTQB, TDK, etc...) must be used to kick the ball and a coach must develop the skills necessary to use this figure. It will also reguire the player of miniature electric football to develop a game plan strategy for special teams play in returning and covering kicks.

Thanks for reading and please ask any quesstions. I will try to explain as best I can.

On the kick off, to not go over the restraining line, we have to place our players far from the 30yards, am I right ? Because during the 2secs, they should not cross that line ?

Restraining line
 
Right!!! I usually set my kicking team players at the 20 and receiving team players at the 50 (10 yards from each line) I experimented with 1 second and 2 seconds. Depends on speed of the board, speed of the players, and size of the game board. I was using a Tudor model 660 which is slighty smaller than a 620. Should work fine for 4'(48 inch) x 2'(24 inch) or larger game boards.

This also works great for surprise onside kicks. Watch how your opponent sets up his receiving team. If he has a tendancy to set up his front line of blockers to run back towards the kick returner to set up a return blocking formation then you can catch him not expecting an onside kick and you will have a greater chance of recovering an onside kick.

I'll try it as soon as possible. For now I'm more in a modelling/theorical aspect of the hobby :D
