Poly 4 attacks

I was wondering what other players think of this.

6,3 vs 3 or 5,4 vs 3. Most of the time I go with 5,4 but lately I've been thinking 6,3 is better. I've been failing in a lot of 5,4 vs 3.

What do you think?

Definitely 5,4 vs 3 I believe. I wonder why you would commit yourself with a 3 vs x attack, especialy since an outcome of having a 3 vs 1 attack is slim. I also think that none of the above are optimal anyway, 5 vs 3 or 4,4 vs 3 seem better to me. If you want to add troops, then adding 2 troops seem to make optimal use of your troops

5,4 vs 3 has slightly better odds of making the conquer. Only advantage of the 6 is that the best case is slightly better in some situations. But if your goal is strictly to conquer the 3, go with 5,4.

I would only use the 3 to attack a 1. And that way, depending on the other number, I could reinforce the next colour.

Probabilistically I think 5.4 vs 3 is better, it's just that lately when I go 6vs3 I have better results than 5,4 vs 3.
