Yeah, if the attack seems dead certain and we get some kind of an opening let's not hesitate too much and just pull the trigger. That said, there still isn't a stack inside our land or even especially in an aggressive staging tile... and this game has surprised us multiple times already, so let's see what happens. I'm still crossing my fingers that we would experience one further offensive war in this game instead of going down in a rain of blood.
Declaring on mack and razing a city or two is certainly an invitation for a rapid elimination, which even at this point does not sound thaaaat appealing. 
Wow, that paragraph is a nice example of trying to somehow tie together five incomplete thoughts..

Ha! That would be awesome
Btw lurkers, this is maybe the best thing with playing with OH, 240 turns of struggle and he still has energy and interest in simming speculative fights 
Hey THH, are you reading currently? If it comes down to a big fight in the near future we could once again have use for our bloodthirsty tactician..And as a final comment, I like your thoughts about how to prepare for a possible attack (ie how to squeeze the max amount of units out of threatened cities).
