Rollouts

These quizzes are full of surprises. The one that really stumps me is #2. I rejected the hit so fast that it didn't even enter my discussion. I looked at it again when Stick hinted at it, and other people chose it, and again when the rollout confirm it - and I do not get it. What makes it right to risk a 20 point pip lead and 1 to 3 men back advantage here? It's not like it gets very much harder for the enemy to make the 5 pt, you take away some 6s that would cover, but these now hit! You make it harder for him to make the bar point anchor, but is that really that important??

The previous discussion you linked is also interesting. In the original position there, making the outfield point is correct - and that's when trailing in the race / men back department, so you wouldn't think getting hit was as costly.

Funny old game, indeed...
