The best “protection” for the Trade Federation would be a “Invitation Only” game where the players knew each other by reputation if naught else.

By all means Gryph, if there was a house rule that the TF was not to be attacked, then it would be poor sportsmanship for anyone to do so. What I was trying to suggest were some rules of engagment whereby the TF would not be strictly immune from attack, or so powerful that any attack were irrelevant. I was thinking that this would give more of an uncertainty to the game, and keep it more interesting for the TF player. Hopefully thereby increasing the attractivesness of what could otherwise be a bit of a drudgery. Of course in real life, the guy with all the money has lots of fun, but who would want to play a game of Monopoly and just be the banker for example?
