The creator of the Eight Light map commented that it should be played like this: "OR (sic) &YC&FR (sic) &GS VS BM&GE&BH&BD Team Game".

For Commander Wars purposes, this translates to OS & YC & BG & MA vs. BM & GE & BH & AC. And indeed, I think in free for all, the "sandwiched" factions would stand no chance, especially as they are so close to each other. So I suggest to pre-configure this map for team play right away.
