Game 2, move 1: Herd 2-2

Some of these 2's are easier than the other 2's

Well, FWIW, I prefer 24/22, 13/11*, 6/4 (2). Making our 4-pt must be right and the hit has to be a good idea too but I don't see the need to make the 11-pt just now.  Moving up with 24/22 gives some flexibility and gets us moving, while ah_clem probably has only half a roll to play with.  Unless of course Diane rolls him a nice 33 - and you're not going to do that, are you?

I'd opt for the Herd's move - It's Blitz time, so bring another checker into the zone - no need to play defense yet.  "Hey Ho, let's go, shoot 'em in the back now."

Didn't I ask you to hush....they don't need you leading them into the briar patch

I'll be interested to see the roll out for this one but, as I'm just off to Mexico for three weeks, may not see it before I leave.

Go Herd!

TTFN,

Think this means the move the Herd chose was the best - FYI..I was with you
