Well, I think that if you have a problem with this, you need to set up either a house rule or withdraw when it happens with one of your games.

If you think about it, it is too unrealistic for a race/nation being beaten badly in a war to 'surrender' (read cry for protection) to a much stronger race - if you then have to fight both combined, isn't this galactic machtpolitick at work?
