Yeah, idk much about baseball, the name just sounds familiar.

Pretty sure about fall after orange, fall of vietnam, fall of Saigon, etc.

[El Grillo]

Ah yes, the Fall of Saigon. I can definitely get on board with that.

[Bobchillingworth]

Point to orange

Point to fall

Orange is the new Blue
Fall is black

Red wins


Oh well, the Hail Mary play didn't come off, as expected really. No way they were failing to win next round though.

Full grid:

SCORPION	FALL	HEAD	TRUNK	WELL
CZECH	CLUB	BELL	KANGAROO	BOMB
AFRICA	ORANGE	CASINO	NUT	SLIP
SHOP	PENGUIN	POINT	SERVER	PUMPKIN
PAPER	CANADA	PLAY	MINT	COTTON

Can't say I thought much of my words here. Czech in particular is a huge pain to pair with anything, because any geopolitical clue runs straight into Fall. It took me a while to find even a route to finish in 4 rounds.

Nightdress, 3 went perfectly according to plan.
Derrick, 2 was aiming for wellhead. I hadn't paid enough attention to Canada, though I would have gone with Petroleum if I'd wanted that and Well.
Losing Canada was a bit of a blow, as it felt as though it would speed red up by a turn. The original plan for round 3 was Vietnam 2 (Orange + Bomb), leaving 1 for a fourth round I hoped to get. In the end I had to hope you'd associate Vietnam with Czech as  both being countries. Not exactly near each other though.  I was pretty sure you'd go for Fall first.

And he spells his name Derek Jeter, by the way.

[El Grillo]

Ouch, Czech is tricky indeed on that board. GG red team!

[Wyatan]

SEMTEX for Czech + Bomb ?

[El Grillo]

That would've gone way over my head, I'm afraid.

[Dp101]

Welp. GG

[Bobchillingworth]

Harsh board. Best I can think of for Czech is "Melania", to pair with orange.
