Thanks for your comments, Thomas and Brian.

Brian, I agree with you, regional playing is buggy. Even though we cannot really pinpoint where the bugs are. We know, because it was mentioned earlier on by people who knew quite a lot about how the development of the game went, that the regional playing aspect of the game was not realised to the extent that the game's creators envisioned. Part of that was, it seems, pressure by marketing to bring the game on the market.

Whatever the causes, the result is that there are flaws in the way the game deals with regional playing. Nonetheless, I will persevere for a while with my two clusters, because I am having fun with them, even when I complain about shortcomings.
