Asc isnt dumb, all they need to do is hit the strongest alliance over and over, then that alliance will fold out of the block as they are losing ground to other alliances in the block (and have 0 chance of winning).

If everyone hits Asc from the beginning, it doesnt stop Asc from hitting an alliance back.. thats what the majority of HC's are afraid of and why blocks fail.

To put it in terms of next round.. If Asc simply targetted ND in the block.. after 1 week ND would be behind CT/Fang/(whoever else) and have low morale due to the constant incomings. They would they ask themselves why are they in this block and stop hitting Asc. Then they do the same for another alliance in the block, in some cases Asc doesnt even need to launch a fleet at them.. only threaten to and they'll back out.

As others have said, you need one decent alliance to emerge for this round and to take on Asc directly. Then the other alliances can simply hide behind that alliance relatively safe from incomings (i.e. We need another Omen type alliance).
