Re: [eia] rule change proposal - new corps

[Michael Gorman <mpgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	I am opposed to changing this rule.  The need to plan ahead is a major 
component of the economic system used in this game.
	You have to make decisions on how much to commit to flexibility in the 
form of corps counters, to supply, to reinforcements to saving for future 
wars.  These decisions impact a lot of the game and throwing portions of 
them out has a big impact and I don't see the benefits of reducing the 
strategic component of the game by allowing people to not have to plan.
	Yes, people can choose to cheat and ignore parts of the rules and there is 
no good way to check on that.  But there's no good way to check on that in 
a face to face game either.  If people are not trusting each other to 
accept the framework of the game, then the problem is not in the rules.

Mike
