	I can defeat the hardest arrangement (5 cautious players, random territories, 5 army bonus always) by letting all countries build up to 99 armies.  To do this you have to set your person as a cautious player and build up.  THis wil take a few minutes. Once this happens, choose to attack a country that when the opposing man tries to go for you he will have to destroy one or more opponent countries in the way.

	EXAMPLE:
	You fortuitously have all of Australia except Indonesia which is owned
	by Enemy A.  Enemy A's nearest country to Indonesia is Ukraine.  When
	you attack and defeat Indonesia, he'll have to run over Afghanistan,
	China and Siam before getting to Indonesia.  This should give you 
	enough time to rebuild your forces, since no one will be attacking you
	for a long while.
