What is everyone's plan in the early stages of a delf team? It seems the standard starting roster is 4 blitzers, 7 linemen, 2 rr (or 1 rr + apoth).
I started my Chaos Cup team with 4 blitzers, 6 linemen, 1 runner, 1 rr and apoth. I debated taking a 2nd rr at the beginning, and the rr shortage definitely influenced my first couple matches, but the early apoth saved me a death early...so I guess that's a wash.
I've now played 4 matches, bought the 2nd rr, and have a 10-man roster. I have 100k in the treasury, which leads me to my first question: should I buy my 3rd reroll, a fresh runner/lineman, or save for my first witch? I'm kinda leaning toward the reroll (since rerolls can't die), but I'd like to hear what more experienced delf coaches think.
My second question is directly related: how important are the various postionals, which ones do you use, and how soon do you add them to the roster? Dark elves are so expensive, and have so many postionals, that building a competitive roster seems to be a puzzle all its own.

save for the witch. It's that player that will really give you the added flavor to the Delf team. Then save your moneys for the second witch. Build as you see fit, but usual convention says wrackle/ SB on one and general purpose for the other. 4 Blitzers is a must and the core of the team. One can usually get away with not using a runner or assassin. But if you really must, then the runner over the assassin, hands-down!
Rolling with 2RR is not horrible, either.

I for 1 find the WE and assassin just become targets and at AV 7 costly ones I dont them till most the teams has each player at 2nd and 3rd level i dont mind playing up to 3 loners on the team as just go on the LOS on my kick
I start with the 4 blitzers and 7 linemen get to 2 RR and apoth then start to add 2 runners and then once at 1400 to 1500 TV add the WE's at that point i will replace any dead lineman with an assassin
started new test of late and on a double for a lineman i have given dump off to see if i can make a runner out of him lol but that teams style is to not bunch up so guard is of little use it will be more like a rugby team
