happy hermit: Hmmm, with you're playing style you can probably get away with it. Most of us don't. But if it's the last spy and I still have a lot of unknown pieces I think I might be tempted even to to sacrifice a 4 or 5 :) But ofcourse I like to bluff and do not like spies at all :)

Chaos: I don't recommend trading a 3 for a Sab early in a game (while I do recommend trading a 2 for a Recon) as the opponent then has a lot of options in pursuing an attack. I just found it odd that I was playing three games simultaneously, against good players, in which I exchanged a 3 for a Sab so I thought I would mention it. :)

happy hermit: the sab is not the spy the recon is the spy... the original discussion was spy vs 2

Nothingness: You are correct. I meant Recon and I fear I have been using the wrong word in several other places as well. :)

happy hermit: actually here the names of the pieces are totally different then they are on IYT. i dont even know what there called here.
