yes of course, how could I miss that point.. Only deploy the arms in the arsenal that are above the line.

I view my stack like an arsenal, my opponents are the armories that temporarily house the components of my arsenal. At the base of my stack are a couple of fighter jets and a couple abrams tanks, the next tier has a couple humvees, a couple m-60s (this is about where the line is I think) the next tier contains boxes of M-16s and hand guns and bullets. So what giga is is really saying is that you can risk your less valuable arms, the m-16s and handguns and bullets, to create a situation where you have bigger stacks to your right and smaller stacks to your left, even if the immediate play is way -ev.

Thanks for the clarification
