    Got it, tho still unsure of 1D and 4a. Thx for the challenge!

      1D: armour indicates the outer letters of st[eel-c]ut, “odd forerunner” gives the O
      4A: “focuses” indicates the central letters of bl(o)ke b(u)t of(t)en, a party is a do
      Thanks for solving :)

      i dont know why i was flailing about for so long getting nowhere... especially when in retrospect nothing was too difficult... a little offbeat maybe... i am just completely off my game today... sorry for the idiocy thanks for the puzzle

        Thanks for posting; I didn't get most of the wordplay. I would appreciate a parse of each clue, if that's OK.

            Many thanks!
            5A Is "Sometimes" an alternate letter indicator? I haven't see it before.
            You were sucessful in choosing more challenging definitions; thay certainly outsmarted me.
