wouldn't you drop the pieces pretty quickly?
it is a pretty interesting idea that if the trojan horse is captured,
whatever inside is given to the opposition, makes life dangerous if you
try to advance the t-horse inside enemy lines .. i know when i first read
that rule i thought .. 'oh that is heavy, lose the t-horse and what is
inside enemy gets', but, i think i like it now , it would make you be careful, 
you just couldn't afford to lose t-horse with pieces inside anyway, 
so i couldn't see it happening that often  .. 
once again, terrific looking game.
