I will say that I tried 6-10-6 x-D with very mediocre results.  On the other
hand, he has destroyed a couple strikers running 2-10-2 x-D.  I might try
that sometime against another offensive.  In the meantime, I'm probably
going to fiddle around with trying to find his favourite numbers.

BTW, what would you guys challenge with this warrior.

I must take that over to alt.warlord and see what the folks have to say :)
