In Response To: Check out this VARIANT (Nack Ballard)

In your variant it is clear that the hit is substantially weaker than in the original. A one point board is a lot less effective in constraining opponent's choices both immediately and after future potential hits on the 17/18 points. I would still hit here but it won't surprise me if your rollout supports just putting three checkers on 23.
