And as someone always replies when you post this: It only takes provinces against indies. 1PD keeps the Maenads from taking the province. Also keeps the enemy informed of exactly where your Pan is moving and only works in Turmoil.

Not that a Pan assassin casting charm is a bad thing, just that tossing Maenads to take a province plan doesn't work.

Now if the maenads joined the charmed commander to attack minimal PD, that might be interesting. Do they? I'm not sure when either of those battles happen in the turn sequence.
