		You can also get a sense for where the AI is going to attack, which makes it easier to guard 2 provinces with 1 army.  Doesn't work every time, especially when there's more than 1 AI adjacent to a given province, but it does help. 
 
Depending on the map, one of the major challenges of the game is figuring how to expand without opening up "too many fronts".
