THIS is not an indefensible strategy ...

The opposing alliance might easily determine that it is worthwhile to get that stack out of the home zone to eliminate the 30 bonus points. If you allow the stack to be created you certainly cannot prohibit the opponents from trying to "defend" against this strategy. Is that a safe situation?

Also, please don't forget ... the Q&A answer ONLY stated that there was nothing in the rules that prohibited this strategy. I guess now that oversight has been "fixed".
