This only shifts the advantage over to anyone raiding the region whether they are actual raiders desiring control over the region, or defenders trying to liberate the region.
All my threads are starting to blur together before my eyes. _Somewhere_ I described the process as being the two sides feeding reinforcements into the fray in a battle of attrition.
I think that only during the initial assault does the invader have the advantage. Once the defenders know where the assault is happening, then routing troops into the battle is much easier.
A clever invader, however, would be smart enough to use an invasion in one location as a diversion for the REAL assault in another region. Once defenders commit to the first region, they get tied down waiting for more invaders to show. Meanwhile, the real, second attack starts, and banjected invaders from the first attack become reinforcements for that second attack.
[I'm sure that there's at least one bright Invader out there that figured this strategy out. I just wanted to make sure that _everybody_ knows about it now.]
