After taking Madrid, the Carlist player considers moving east toward Valencia. The objection is that this would place the Carlists between two enemies and prevent those rivals from fighting each other. An advance along the Portuguese border would preserve more fighting between the opposing factions. It also matches the player's stronger forces against weaker resistance and offers opportunities for further encirclements.
