Description

Part of a 5 game series of Rocky Graziano (Boxing), Vince Lombardi (Football), Gil Hodges (Baseball), Rod Gilbert (Hockey), and Oscar Robertson (Basketball). Historical players are given numeric offensive and defensive rating, with goalies having an alpha rating. Puck advancement and shooting is dice and table driven. Rules for fatigue require use of multiple lines and defensive pairs. Results in high level treatment as players fall into very broad groupings with the linear ratings. E.g., every forward was rated 1 on defensive.
