In Response To: What's the plan? (Stick)

why the play of 1* is best --- moving from either the 13 or 18 points is committal (esp the 18 as it gives dark side good 6s) and gives the dark side many good sequences. the 18 point holding games are very robust and therefore a favorite of the bots. playing 6/5 is nice, except for that pesky 4 to play --- 13/9 is the only play that adds a builder (7/3 or 6/2 remove builders and are not alternatives) --- so really, 1* should really stand out (by more than the rollout indicate IMHO). perhaps, the sequences after the loose hit and return hit are more destructive than i imagine
