Of course, that's also taking blatent advantage of a fixed board size...
if
someone's going to start running circles around the edge board, I'm
going
to start insisting that we move the board if someone pushes the edge!
(Which I would then start to do....)  Whether it'll work or not is
somewhat
debatable, but leaving part of your force in the middle of the table and
sending another to the edge may help the situation.  Or may allow defeat
in
two small lumps. ^_^;  I dunno....

A totally unprovoked attack on peaceful neighbors. Must be the race
