It could though, make it v.hard to defend against and then the pendulum has swung the other way!
I still like the idea......

PA originally had up to 3-tick attack and up to 6-tick defend (you could always set less and/or recall early). The extra defend ticks didn't help with single attacks (unless you wanted to launch def. early--this was before prelaunch), but was quite handy when there were multiple attacks and especially waves.
I never understood why, when PA went to 1-tick attacks it didn't keep at least a 2-tick defend.
Of course it makes defending easier (although really only against multiple attacks), but by its nature defense has always been harder than attacking--even with 6-tick defend.
