There seems to be the biggest issue that supply territories when owned by players can be defended indefinitely, and by that I mean 'everything non-supply territory is useless other than acting as a means of basing staging points for grabbing or defending, and even if you lose totally everything that is non-supply, you'll still hold all those supply territories and can do expicitly just that'.

I think this calls for a rule shift given this conundrum

Please don't. I'll never get out then.

It has occured to me that we will be slowly approaching a conundrum where everyone just defends ad infinitum their supply points v:

Suggest solutions pls? Restrict to 2 actions total per Player maybe? This way you have to economize your orders and talk your rivals away from grabs more. Good, bad?

I screwed myself when I wasted a turn trying to grab Gijou, so I'm almsot certain I'm going to lose now. Gray has so much territory, so they are probably the ones who will win. If actions are going to be restricted to two per player, then not only would the problem remain but also there wouldn't be a need of grabbing more Supply Areas as you wouldn't gain more actions from them.

I suggest a method to "overpower" a zone. Perhaps a 3/1 or 2/1 ratio?

I have a prominently applicable idea in mind, using the theme of 'useful non-supply territories':
> Since we have 'edge provinces' and no way to attack other than a narrow chokepoint, let non-supply territories act as some manner of supply, but in numbers, like 3 non-supply territories = 1 supply point.

Or

> If two players attack a defending territory, that territory becomes neutral as a result of a three-way clash. This wouldn't fix the edge-supply territory case though. UNLESS if you can make it that players can attack a territory twice, and the defender only defends once, then it's a case of overwhelming power that fixes pretty much those conundrums without changing any mechanics at all. Because you can...attack twice, right? :V
