Subjekt: Re: re: maharaja flaw.

02i: I am no specialist of the field so I could be wrong, but from what I read it looks like about all games of the type "one against all" are forced wins for the player with the army - the classical example being "Fox and the gooses". The reason for it seems to be that if one of them wasn't, it would probably be a straightforward win by direct attack for the lone piece.
The lone piece being much easier to conduct than a set of pieces, such a game is more playable if it is unbalanced in favour of the army.
