Well the result was that Ji was killed outright (which Mark points out as a
strong possibility) . Although the #'s may add up to there being a
possibility, it seems very unlikely to succeed. Maybe we should ask the
"audience", "Has anyone ever heard of  Ji successfully assassinating NG's
best commander on turn 2 in NG's capital?" If so in what game?
Mark and Rick I very much appreciate you answering the query. It is just
very hard for me to put the potential gain and the potential risk on the
scale and then choose to take the risk. I'd hate to think I am getting
older and more conservative. Thanks again!
