What's with your messages.  I read it fine in the message area,
but in following up on it, each paragraph is reduced to 1 line, anything
beyond that line being deleted.

Anyway, it's fairly important to note what type of warriors your
talking about here.  At least one of these is a tournament only warrior,
Yes you ran him to 18-0 in the arena, but why stop? Oh you want all the
tourney prizes!  When you talk about a warrior who is hiding all those
skills, he is bound to do well with an all offense strategy.  But what
about typical lunger who has a Master in Init, Adex Attack and expert in
Defence.  When he goes 10-10 against anything offensive, he'll get blown
away.  Lungers are not adept at learning decisiveness skills, unless they
become aberations.  For most lungers, decise is the second last skill
area that they max out in, so these folks do have a point about
strategies for upper level warriors.

What I may suggest is an 8-10-3 Dodge.  I thought this was warped
when I first saw it, but the warrior I use it with is 5-0 against
Strikers, 3-1 vs Bashers, and 3-2 against other lungers.  Similarly, I
had a ADM lunger who went 8-10-6 Dodge (his favourites mind you), and he
went 14-6 over his last 2 tourneys.  He tends to dodge anything faster
than him, but will take the fight to anyu of the mixed styles (WS,PL,PR).
 I usually save the alternate strategy for scum, but not always.

Crip,

Run teams all over the place
