GAC Attacking First

To your analogy, in american football say you have one possession each. First team scores a td. Second team scores and decides to go for a 2 point conversion getting 8 points instead of 7 and wins.

If that's the case then you should go for 2 if you're the first team and worried that you can't stop the second. Same in GA. To put pressure on your opponent you can't just kick a field goal or score a TD with no extra points. You need to put up a 7 (high pressure on the other team) or 8 (maximum pressure).

I use both strategies. I usually go first. Sometimes I'll clear half of the zones and stop to see what my opponent does. I almost never just sit and do nothing. I average more than 2 wins per GA.

Others swear by the wait and see approach. Both can be used effectively.
