In Response To: Nactation Question — 41$-42 (Nack Ballard)

Thank you, Nack. Your explanation is clear. I'm not really sure how I got confused. I checked the Nactation Guide, and found that it says this: Here is a reliable way to determine whether to use U or V: If there is only one possible up play with a roll, use U. If there are two possible up plays with the roll, the play that moves the leading checker closest to home is nactated U, and the other play is V. Somehow, I interpreted this to mean that the definition of U includes moving up as far as possible. Of course, the Hit/Most/Six rule did not exist at the time that you wrote the guide, so perhaps my interpretation was not wholly unreasonable. Mike
