    Confused by the 4-2-3-1

    There seems to be varing opinions on how to beat it, please help.

    opponent's 4-2-3-1
    . = ST=
    AML=AMC=AMR
    = MC = MC =
    DL=DC=DC=DR

    Different threads recommend a 4-4-2 classic or a wide diamond. Which should I use, or is there a better formation to countr with?

    What options and arrows should I play?

    I am rated just above my oppaonent, and I normally play a narrow diamond while having players for hex, V, and
    4-3N-2W-1. Any use of ML/MR will require player out of position.

    Any comments/help will be appreciated.

    Hence the phrase "varing opinions." I did check the table (4-4-2), which I ran and lost 0-3.

    Thank you for your contribution to this thread, but I would like someone, perhaps July Fourth, to comment on the original post with actual insight.

    Check the game stats.... there is some speculation that playing 2 or more player OOP results in an "illegal formation" penalty... if you had OOP players at ML and MR you may have incurred a 30% possession penalty....

    If this is the case, then 4-4-2 definitely ain't for you!
