We had a great competition today, placing 3rd in the qualifying matches (out of 18 teams).  We won 5 of our 6 qualifying matches.  These matches were played with (2) robot alliances (and, of course, just 2 trailers).  The game was further modified in that (6) Empty Cells were placed in the Outposts; so potentially (6) Super Cells could be put into play by the corner human player (just one such player per alliance, as the other was by necessity in the Outpost).
