You gonna match that, Skippy?

Unless you're already resolving yourself to defeat and simply want to put on a meaningless offensive exhibition, that's why you play defense.

Here's a thought - 1114 et al wouldn't hesitate to have their alliance employ defensive tactics against their opponents if they knew they were needed to achieve victory on the field.

By the way - calling that perfectly legal open-field defense in the video blockading is...regrettable. I'd refer to the call as something else, but this is a family forum.
