Poll
The main thing here is to minimize shots. If we leave a blot on the three then he has 11 shots and if we leave it on the 4 he has 13. Do we give him a 35% chance to hit us, or keep it to 30.5%? The choice is easy. The fact that 4/1 also puts a third checker on the roof is gravy.
Question: Move?
Option 1: 4/off, 4/3*
votes: 4
Option 2: 4/off, 1/off
votes: 1
