Re: Defensive Strategies

Just like 2006, having an alliance smart enough to know when NOT to chuck balls onto the field, missing their targets and providing the opposition more "ammo" in a fruitless, aggravating display of dumb is one of the better defensive strategies you can employ. Yeah, it might look cool to the crowd, but strategically, it's lame.

Deny the opposing alliance as much scoring "ammo" as you can. Conserve your ammo until the opportune time to unload it for maximum gain, or there's so little time left, the opposing alliance cannot "steal" it.
