perhaps not directly on the precise same targets at roughly the same time but they sure soaked up available defence in the alliances ( which i guess is the point in a blockwar - soak it up so the chosen alliance has a bigger chance of getting through on theirs )

my point is, 1up doesnt -have- any backup to rely on for assistance on anything and so the two situations arent directly comparable.
yes exil crushed nd rather quickly at the end but that does not mean 1up is going to do the same to nd, or anyone else unless other alliances get involved.
