In Response To: Your Early Game Test (Stick)

1. 24/18 6/4* looks better than 13/7 6/4* to me
2. b/20 11/10 but it may be correct to take advantage of duplicated 4s by slotting.
3. 8/4 6/5 looks clearly best.
4. b/22 24/18. If White fails to hit then Blue can use his whole roll to prime or attack.
5. 13/8 7/5 or 8/3* 5/3? I don't like the double hit. Against two chequers back I'll take the priming approach. The front position becomes very solid, leaving me free to develop anywhere the dice dictate.
