At 3200 when you turn in, black has 4 cards and 25 units to his name. You could have taken him out, turned in again, and then disrupted my bonuses. Now black will have three cards when yellow takes him out. Previously yellow would have to have gone through me in Naples to use his armies in Rome. You opened up an easy northern route for him. I understand taking out my bonuses: a sensible thing to do, and well executed. I just don't understand handing yellow all the advantages.
