Blech!  Even I might DA this one.  If you actually keep it, go for a few quick
wins/kills.  13-6-18-11-6-21-8 BA/ST or thereabouts

Double Blech.  At least he's got DF.  I think he's definatelya PR irregardless.
Maybe 5-6-11-11-13-17-21 PR.  That WT will hurt him a decent amout but he'll
start with great riposte and probably defense too.  Pick your strategies right
and you might pull a .500-.600 with him.  Or he might die in his 1st fight.

No, this one doesnt have possibilities as anything.  Kill him and kill him now.
Only chance is 13-21-17-4-15-9-5 TP Scum.  But since I dont do that, you didnt
hear me suggest it.  :)

Depneds.  I usually get maybe one good rollup out of five.  DOnt know if thats
typical.  Course, I get 4 keepable rollups out of five, but I probably keep
warriors 90% of the managers here would throw out.  Almost any warrior can be
designed to win in basic.  Itsmostly smart challenges and decent strategies.
Good luck.
