Hi I am setting up a pre-aligned neutral game like the normal one - any
ideas as to which would be best to team up with which side?
Thanks

My concept would the the more straight military game. DS south, free north.
Take out the Rhuns, useless weak position anyway, give the Duns and WW to the
free and the Khand and Corsairs to the DS.
Second choice, I think, would be WW and Khand DS, Corsair and Duns free. The
up side of this is I think the free should get the neutral "name 40 agents"
SNA. The down side is a fairly boring game for the Corsair. The free would
have such overwhelming naval superiority, the Corsair SNAs would be kind of
useless. He would spend the entire game getting pounded by the Khand and the
QA. Would make some interesting strategic and tactical problems. Ones not
often seen I think.
I don't think the Duns are really viable as DS if the WW is free.
For a truly bizarre game, try Duns and WW ds and Khand and Corsair free.
That would turn the "usual strategy" stuff on its head.
Come to think of it. That's the one I like the best. Duns and WW go Ds and
the Khand and Corsairs go free. That would be almost a new game.
