Why not make fighting a flag? Then you don't have to worry about
all of those other hacks to make things work.
Positions are positions. Fighting is an affect/attitude IMHO. In
addition, flying isn't a position. With that setup you have to add
yet another hack to allow people to sit down on the flying carpet
rather than just standing. And another to allow them to fight and
so on.. too many hacks for me :-)
