Default Re: Trading commanders, exploit or not?

One of my favorite tactics. Nations which have full armies of stealth ability (leader, infantry, archer, mage, priest, possibly mounted) doing guerilla tactics. Sneak behind front lines, take a province, sneak out, move two or three provinces before attacking again. Buy PD there, recruit units, drive taxes to 200. Force the enemy to buy heavily into PD or maintain large armies farther behind his lines than he had planned to. Particularly useful when combined with an ally who is doing the standard action such as marching a large army toward them.
