Lately I've noticed a very bush league tactic being used in 1v1 freestyle games. It's happened to me a couple of times, and I figured I might as well get some opinions on it.
It goes along these lines. I threw in some details to help explain it, but obviously all games are different. And no, this is not a specific scenario that happened to me.........
It's a freestyle game, 1v1. Your opponent has just secured Europe! Without a bonus yourself, and even in territories, it could spell your doom if he's able to hold onto it for a few turns. Unfortunately he's also been able to secure many of the terri's outside of Europe, and other entrances are blocked off by neutrals. You do not have enough firepower to break him this turn, he's bound to get the bonus, which will only secure his European domination. So what do you do? You load up on Brazil, to go through North Africa (which belongs to your opponent), and into South Europe. You end your forts with a smug look, you have 6 on Brazil and he only has 3 on North Africa, and 1 on South Europe.
But seeing this plan, your opponent fortifies North Africa up to 7. No way you can stop him now..... unless..... you do what you always do in 1v1 freestyle games! You about ten minutes until you're sure your opponent has given up on you taking your turn (or at least has stopped sitting there refreshing), deploy your 4 on Brazil, and conquer North Africa + Southern Europe. Ordinarily, your opponent would have been able to start his turn while you were doing this and receive the five bonus armies, but now? Nope!
This is a tactic I feel should be against the rules. But I'm curious as to what you guys think.
