Quickie Version
UTAD, but get both A, B and the center when lit to open the gate in the process.
Go-To Flipper
Balanced, but lower Right plays a bit safer
Skill Shot
top center lane when lit [alternates on switch hits, nudge as needed] opens ball save gate on lower right. Get this first. Shoot the ball up top again first chance you get: scoring both the “A” and “B” lights, which alternate opposite to the center lane, gets you double bonus. Continue UTAD until bonus is doubled and maxed [15,000 base]. Once bonus is maxed, you can, if you choose, switch to shooting the drop targets on the left, but only from the lower flipper. If EBs are on, completing the targets lights the EB lane. If not, you still get 3000 points each time you complete the bank. Avoid shots with the upper flipper - - if you miss low, you drain out the left, and even if you hit the targets, the rebound from this angle can go out the right outlane.
Full Rules
One of the most popular EMs ever, and a frequent choice for tournaments.
Playfield Risk
Mostly balls exiting the bumpers (direct drains or via slingshots). You shouldn't drain coming down either side - - manage the ball coming down the right side by holding the upper flipper up to deflect it to the left flippers.
