	This one's tough. The TWC limited the equipment the MMC could
take on-planet to what could be produced locally. Thus you had them
fighting tank battles against the Freiheimers, with muskets on one
planet, and with spears and bows on a different planet.

	But... I think they would always be highly motivated, and
at the least be veterans. Green MMC units get blooded fast, so 
while they do occur, they'd be rare. Leader quality would be as
variable as with any other force.

	Of course, you'd never have to worry about how to play
the Ninjas, since they didn't exist.

Easy enough to do. Flipping the tables shouldn't affect play balance. 
The statistics remain the same, though reversed.

My phrasing is probably missing all sorts of
weird characters and not inconceivably a
few letters, but I gather that the original
translation was "I farted".

This was originally discovered by the
telecommunications company of the same
name who opened a subsidiary in France
without checking their brand. Oops.
