What you say is true HG, it is a fact that different plays will quickly become all different in such a large variant. But so what?
Of course you are free to comment my proposal but I don't see where you want to go.
You argue about the fact that white has an advantage of having the word in saying what is the lineup. I'm still not convinced by your explanations, but I don't want to make a dispute on that. Since my sentence was not a rule and was more a comment, I removed it.
Anyway, advantage or not, I do like the idea of having the freedom to organise the major pieces at wish in the center of the board, even though those pieces are behind lines of pawns. When I play it, it adds some fun: either I choose the line-up or I do the first move. Like in some sports where either you choose the side on the field or the ball to start.
In any case, this game is not finished, and it might continue to evolve according to on-going play testing.
