Nothingness: I think you'll find the stratergy is that if you hit your oppnent then you will gain an extra man, therefore you have to way up the concequences of taking men off.

Nothingness: they way it seems to be worded i could feesably end up with an infinite amount of pieces to bear of my bar.

No, that would require an infinite amount of moves. But you're always complaining your opponents move only a few times a month, so while the number of pieces on your bar may grow, you don't live old enough to get an infinite amount. Now in theory, the maximum number of pieces on the bar is unbounded.
