Freestyle has been on the to-fix list for some time. Most players won't play it as it currently is.
A minor issue? Please, quit with the whole stand by lack's side routine. It is precisely the only thing missing from this site that has brought us all here in the first place. The game of Risk, the way it is meant to be played. Whether or not it is first in line is a whole separate issue. There are plenty of things in front of that suggestion so don't use that as some type of shield to completely belittle something as monstrous as getting to choose where we place our armies. Who gives a flying fudge if it takes days or even weeks to commence the game, it would be an option so that would be the players prerogative. C'mon jp, you actually enjoy your drops? It's like a third grader choosing for you...
