(1) 2 restarts should be enough to choose a good setup; there's no need to take more unless the 2nd one hasn't been built yet...
(2) No one forces you to play by these rules (the rules change by mutual agreement).
(3) If player A isn't strong and uses these kinds of wins, they won't get far anyway! If they are strong, it's their right to give or not give...
I don't see anyone being right or wrong here! If these players can't find a compromise, then the decision is up to the AC:smile41:
