This implementation generalises a set of related star battle variations that decouple number of stars per region, from those in rows/columns, such as:
- [regional star battle|https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2014/06/star-battle-regional-prasanna-seshadri/] by @PrasannaSeshadri (6 stars per region), 2014
- [star battle (small regions)|https://www.gmpuzzles.com/blog/2016/06/star-battle-small-regions-by-serkan-yurekli-2/] by @SerkanYurekli (1 star per region), 2016
- etc...

Regular star battle puzzles can also be set by manually introducing right number in every region.
