This is a common mistake I have seen in multiple prelim DP allocations
and player negotiations. *Please* check the DipWiki.com entry for the
variant to ensure everyone is clear on the rules, I would hate to see
the deadline arrive and I have to adjudicate a bunch of orders as
invalid in the first season - I'm sure that would be very frustrating
for the players.

Illustration (hypothetical) of Valid and Invalid Orders for Neutrals:

VALID - (1 DP) A Settsu Holds

VALID - (2 DP) A Yamashiro S (Chosokabe) F Osaka Bay - Settsu

INVALID - (1 DP) A Yamashiro - Settsu (Neutrals cannot move)

INVALID - (1 DP) A Yamashiro S A Settsu - Kawachi (A Settsu cannot
move to Kawachi)

Neutrals cannot move - they can only be ordered to support other
*player's* units to move, or they can be ordered to hold.

Thanks -
B.
