The netrual forces...

By master yoda, in A Game of Thrones: The Board Game (1st Edition)

Has anyone played with using the replacement Netrual forces from the storm of sword expansion without using the leaders? how does this change the game?

The netrual forces I'm talking about are the kingslanding 5, sunspear 5, etc....changing them to kingslanding 6, sunspear 6
