Okay, you're crazy, and lest this thread be hijacked, let me refine my query:

assume a MP game with the "standard" 6 indep. starting strength when replying.

In response to the original post:

I feel questions 2 thru 5 depend on many variables such as how many players, what nation is being played, strategy being used, map size and I'm sure I missed some too.


as for the expansion (X no. of territories by turn no. Y)

8-12 territories sounds right... especially if you get a strong mercenary group.
