I doubt any such thing exists. An assassination is simply a battle on a small scale, and the regular rules mostly apply except that there are fewer defenders. Petrify is still going to stop almost any assassin cold, unless he uses up item slots to bring along decoys (Wraith Crown), and of course the defender can bring decoys more easily as guards. Also, he's going to be able to assassinate at most one or two commanders per province, which is no worse than Mind Hunt or Earth Attack and takes more time--if he hangs around longer than that you'll just set your armies on Patrol and now it's assassin vs. the whole army, just a regular SC fight.
