In fairness, the designer may also be intentionally exploiting the freebie
behaviour. I've been off doing other things instead of xconq for the last
several weeks, but I remember in my game where I had the inanimate
counters, at one point attempting to set them up so that certain units
could not deliberately drop their counters, but the counters would escape
to terrain on capture or destruction of the transporting unit.
