It looks like most of the points were transferred (the trooper is up by about 10 and only about 5 points have been lost). Was it one extra-lucky or HP-assisted roll (a 2x or 3x transfer on an above-average bid) ? I ask because it is not very likely that there would be many transfers for roughly-equal opponents.
