Well, I hope you ARE!  I set up my HQ-1 position with two powerful
characters (pretty much maxed-out):  a Zealot (fighter-priest) and Ranger
(fighter-scout).  Here's my thinking:
(1)  The game is going to be won by an alliance.
(2)  There are a number of playtesters with some experience in the game.
(3)  An alliance of one or more such players should have some advantage.
(4)  A newbie might have some chance of hooking up with such an alliance
if he
      has a couple powerful and useful characters to offer.
(5)  If I can hook up with an alliance, I don't have to be everywhere at
once or
      worry overmuch about how much my characters can accomplish with
their
      eight actions--even a well-rounded position isn't going to have
*too* many       more, and my allies can be where I'm not.  And, of
course, with a bit of
      success I can build my characters that the alliance needs as the
game
      progresses.
(6)  Ideally, I'd like to join up with the den-bashing "wing" of an
alliance.  Hell,
      3-5 players with characters like mine could put together a hell of a
party--
      certainly far more powerful than a single player could put together
by
      himself.

Of course, much of this strategy depends upon the willingness of solid
players to
cooperate and work together towards victory.  I expect there will be a lot
of interaction and cooperation, but I could be wrong.  I hope not!

Regards,
Greg
