1650 Variant

Hi guys

I’m pondering making the next 1650 game a variant where we have 3 Neutrals, 11 DS and 11 FP. There’s been a lot of comments about Neutrals spoiling the game (4:1, 5:0 split). Clearly part of the issue is player’s willingness to liaise with and woo the neutrals but part of it is the impact these Neutrals can have. So my proposal is to make the next 1650, as a test run only, a game where you have.

Dunlendings (23) FP
Rhudaur (24) DS

I like to keep the Corsairs, Harad and Easterlings Neutral as they are often pivotal in how the game proceeds.

Thoughts welcome.

K so we’ve got 9 positions left in this game to fill - any takers?
