Drow: here's an example for you.

RD country (bob) has 35,000 acres

he is in stocking phase so has very little military at the moment.

he is topfed by
PDM Country (snawdog :P) who has 12,000 acres.

-----
according to RD policy. We will hit back as a topfeed action to take land:land. It will likely take 3-5 hits or so to get the land back. We would hit from any country in the RD tag that has military as it would hurt "Bob's" countries caches at doing well this reset if he has to buy up military to do 3 PS's

so instead we have country C do the hits on PDM.

PDM's policy doesn't allow this.

PDM would say that Bob has to go buy military and do all the retals himself or they will only accept 1:1 from anyone else.



-----
There's the problem :) THat doesnt work for us and we're not changing our policy for a smaller alliance.



it would be the same if I made our policy 3 nukes per grab, then told SoF they had to accept it.

Obviously it's not going to fly and quite obviously we would be hit for it.
