greetings, to not have a main continuos front line and center on cities, in fact is a more weak defense, more on in this game, as an attacker will have more chances to find "holes" to make concentric attacks, mainly, concentric attacks is the way to destroy enemy units, you will have less units with 3 potential attacks paths in a continous front line than if you instead make deployment around cities with multiple front lines, more 3 hexes attacks will be rewarded from the system, that leads to more casualties, here comes the relevance of have some small (divisions) level units to fill the gaps and flanks of strong units, personally i find the given system much historically realistic, somewhat this go against playability as a good defender will left much less gaps or holes free to an attacker, in a frontline you will have around, at most, 3 or 4 hexes free with 3 paths to be attacked, the other way, you will have hexes with 3 paths to attack in every city, worse defense, indeed, with best regards, murat30
