	DP S1999R: The Grand Alliance
		If the Grand Alliance is successfully formed, stopping the front-runner is often a relatively short task, sometimes as short as one turn.
		One main reason that a Grand Alliance would end is when the front-runner has been reduced in size to the point that he is no longer a threat to win.
		Often, the Grand Alliance will spontaneously break-up as most powers simultaneously realize that there is no longer a threat and each tries to take advantage of their position.

		The aim in writing Churchill's Grand Alliance, says Charmley, was "to clear away the lush undergrowth laid down by Churchill and his admirers," a meaningless phrase unless the works of the admirers are enumerated specifically.
