<< Actually, I disagree...At this point you and Bull have both had
basically two turns to desperately trash all of your cards to get
challenges, if necessary. On the other hand, I'm biased, I tend to run
"light" teams that have tons o' skills, but not much muscle, so I'd
definately want as few intercepts as possible :)
