Attacking a major power who is not the leader in a RAND game is *always* a bad idea. I learned this the hard way in LandRAND, i wouldve thought other people might have gotten the message from Zeldors ranting in that thread...

At the point where we attacked you, we believed that no one in the entire game had any chance at all of winning a fight vs Jotun/Aby. We did think we had a
small chance of being able to race them to 10 VPs, especially if the other Arco/C'tis team were able to slow Jotun/Aby for half a dozen turns. You are of course entitled to the opinion that we were wrong and that we could have taken on Jotun/Aby (with your help I assume?). But our teams opinion was that even if all 3 of the other major powers fought them it would just draw out the inevitable.
I'd probably make the same choice again. In my opinion it was the best option of a bad deal. If we had decided to attack 10 turns earlier instead of wrapping up our Bogarus sieges, it might even have been close.
