The formal way is -and was- AGAINST.
This is a war, not a game or-at least- a competition. It's you or the others. You are opposing to them, so you are AGAINST
them!

That's an interesting question - and I have no idea what the answer is but I just tried it with PLAY and it too can be followed with With or Against.
