Re: Newbie Question: Attack Benefit
True. jfp3, don't overlook the fact that you could split your army accidentally. If I'm in Washington and Idaho and my enemy is in Oregon, and I try to move both my armies into Oregon to attack him, it's possible that I will take Oregon's PD with my Idaho army while he slaughters my Washington army in Washington (if he tried to move into Washington).
When two armies try to move directly at each other, it's semi-random which province they actually end up in. In my example, if I were unsure whether half my army could defeat him by itself it would have been safer to move the Idaho army to Washington first and then attack both from the same province simultaneously.
On the other hand, sometimes it doesn't hurt to try to "block" his movement by moving a lone scout or something straight at the enemy province (set to Retreat if a battle does occur). Usually won't work but sometimes does.
