Hmmmm.  I don't generally worry about win/loss record, so I don't run fighters
like this.  Aim for the legs, though, to avoid the kill.  That way, you don't
get bloodfeuded!

This is an EXCELLENT fighter.  You probably recieved no 'damage with a blow'
statement.  Strength can saftly and fairly easily go to 13 for good damage and
the use of the heavier waste weapons (GA, MS, even BA and GS).  You can
generally get away with running a weapon you're not suited to by up to two
strength points with little penalty except endurance burn.  GA and MS require
13 ST, the BA and GS require 15.

I usually run wastes 3-5-3 parry in the first minute, in ASM/ACM and H.  If
he's learning decise, doesn't parry well, or you're feeling adventurous, try
8-6-6 unmodified.  I use it to really surprise challengers who slow down for me
on their challenge strategy.

If you get strength to 13 you should get good endurance.  Don't train wt/wl to
17s unless you don't care about limiting his top-end potential.  I generally
run rippers and plungers on a 7-2-5 unmodified strategy, first minute.  I can't
guarantee that this would work for you, though.

What?  Do you have to be a rookie manager to get roll-ups like this team?!?  ;)
I'm jealous!  He's frail, so run offensive in minute one and attack legs
(again, to avoid the kill and the impending bloodfeuds...)  I usually like
10-10-6 unmodified.  Lungers work well on 10-10-7 decise and 10-10-10 lunge, as
well, although I generally dislike tactics in minute one.  (I view them like
'special teams players' in football:  they have their uses, but you don't run
them in the regular game...)

Unless you have a sentimental attachment to the fighter, it's DA time.
Apologize profusely in the personals and say thet his time was up, anyway.  If
he complains, inform him that he challenged you, after all.  Bloodfeuds are
messy business, and if it was one of mine you just killed, I'd send someone to
kill yours. ;)
