Let's say I am attacking a territory with 20 vs 12.... a win right? But what if you attack the 12 from two territories with 10 on each? Let's say I use an order priority card and have first move order too. I am trying to avoid a possible Bomb card from decimating my units in if I stack them in one territory.

If you get bombed, you don't cap the territory either way.
Attack with 20: you lose 8 units, take the territory.
Attack with 2x 10: you lose 12 units, maybe take the territory. 1st territory to attack drops to 3 units.
"Maybe" b/c even if you use a priority card & have first move, you still only get 1 move first, so if he attacks the territory you just attacked from now has 3, he has 6, so can capture that territory. OR ... other reinforcements could come in from another territory, and then your 2nd attack fails.
And this is assuming he doesn't deploy to that territory, airlift, etc.

Thanks. I will use one stack with 20 and hope for the best. I wasn't sure about first move order if it compounded with the Order priority or not. So if not, then the risk is even greater. Good explanation... much appreciated.
