Tactics, or Hmmm, why do we do this again? I played with a cool Austrian team at Windmill Windup a couple of weeks ago. And they played a ‘standard’ offence which freaked me out. Playing out of vertical stack they had THREE handlers back. Three. Not two. Weird. I didn’t like it. And it took me a while ...
