Isnt that what Denial did this round to the block? heavily hitting Aud one night with enough incs to make them reconsider.
The only real way to get through the block and come out the other side in a winning position, is to take down the strongest link. You cant let your strongest competitior have an easy ride through the block.
Anywayz, the thing i see it as.. Is that defence is the most optimum way to come through a block , without a very good defence.. you wont get anywhere regardless of how good your attacks are (unless its mid-end round, then it might work?).
As far as attacking goes, its either ignore the block and go for easy roids to recoup any of your losses or go for the strongest competitor in the block to stop them out growing you (As in this round for example, who would you prefer to outgrow you? Asc, ND or Aud?).
Asc just had everything this round and played politics near perfectly. They had by far the best defence and also the best attacks, they easily are the alliance which deserves to win.. Its just if other alliances had played the politics game better, it might of been closer fight.
