Backgammon(JDGA vs. TIAM)

[TwoInAMillion]

Who wants to play me in backgammon?

Not sure how to set up the gameboard on the forum.

[JDGA]

W5	--	--	--	R3	--		R5	--	--	--	--	W2
						64
R5	--	--	--	W3	--		W5	--	--	--	--	R2

White's going to the bottom-right, red's going to the top-right.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

Pick your colour and make your roll to see who goes first?

[TwoInAMillion]

I'll be red.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[TwoInAMillion]

Looks like I go first?

[JDGA]

yup, and 2-4 is your first roll.

[TwoInAMillion]

R5(t)-R3

t=top b=bottom

[JDGA]

Uh, what move are you trying to make?
Here, I might add coordinates to the table...

13	14	15	16	17	18	BAR	19	20	21	22	23	24
W5				R3			R5					W2
						64
R5				W3			W5					R2
12	11	10	09	08	07	BAR	06	05	04	03	02	01

You're going from 1 to 24, I'm going from 24 to 1.

risky having a lone counter but best move available it looks like.
