It also means that UK would find it harder to move into North Africa in the early running, which in turn gives Tunisia some form of leverage with the big boys that it doesn't otherwise have. I still think it needs to start life with a fleet though. The big problem is that an Italian opening to TYR is pretty much a no brainer in the current format. It leaves a guaranteed build from SIC anyway and opens up the possibility of permanently stunting Tunisian growth for the remainder of the game thereafter. With a fleet as the starting unit there'd be the potential for a bounce in TYR and then Tunisia is away. I guess the downside of this though might be that Italy becomes too tied up and doesn't have the option of moving eastwards in the first year.

Alternatively, could we not have Libya as an alternative to Tunisia ? An army beginning the game on Tri offers everything that Tunisia has while not having to face such a crushing disadvantage.

Yeah, I know it's only a Standard game, but at the rate of sign-up. I'll have to will my position to my grandkids.

Sooooo, please help. Thanks
