While that is unfortunate, there is another scenario that should be addressed. I was playing in a game a couple days ago, with 4 players (Game 752237), and was accused of doing exactly this, which could not have been farther from the truth. It was an enjoyable game, and I routinely target the largest armies for destruction. After destroying a huge army and in so, securing my continent, another player came and mopped up what was left. When 2 players have 1 huge army each and want the same area, someone will lose, and someone will win. Ironically, that player was not upset. It was 3 turns later, when the player who benefited from that action, placed his massive and only army in front of Australia, which is where I had been heading to, and desperately needed. I wiped out his army, but did not kill his remaining territories with 1 army on them.
I would love to hear opinions on this because some like to make just one massive army, and avoid fights between large armies, and I understand that. If that is the case, and that player sits on Siam, when I have to take Australia, I am going to go through him, his 83 man army be damned. If he did not want to have it destroyed, then dont put it where I am heading. As you may have surmised, I took that players army out, and Australia, and the other remaining player then took the rest.
What was I supposed to do? I was told that unless I can kill everything that players possesses, that I cant do that. That cannot be correct, is it?
