It's too late for this turn, but you should know that attacking a neutral with 6 grain has a 15% success rate, while attacking with 12 has 61% chance. Attacking two places at 15% gives, I think, 27.75% chance of taking anything. So you're more than twice as likely to expand if you concentrate your forces.

(Anyone please correct me if I've got my maths wrong here.)

I appreciate the advice. My mind is locked into similar games in this genre (I'm sure you know which ones I mean) so I've been playing that way. I'll change it up next turn. You're a beast for plugging in all that math.
