I don't know about that DeepO. Would we have been happy if Vox attacked Arashi this turn? I think we would have been, since we were very confident that we'd come out on top in that fight.
Would we have been happy if they delayed their attacks for 2 turns and waited on Arashi9 for reinforcements? I think we would have been, since that would have given us time to produce even more defenders. Our production advantage means that any delay, even one turn, in the action of the war helps us.
Are we happy that Vox have split their forces 3 ways? No, I don't think we are. We're not panicking yet, of course, but IMHO it's the most troubling move they could have made.
In fact I think they're NOT underestimating us. They know our defences are spread a little thin, they know we can out produce them. The most sensible plan (again IMHO  ) is to attack *now* and to attack in more than one place.
Anyhow, that's all a bit meaningless, since what's done is done and we have to deal with it. We'll win .. probably.

If they were going to split like that, they should have waited a turn. If they had waited, they might actually have been able to take more of our units out of the picture by splitting up early than by concentrating, since some of the time we'd lose the first battle and have to send in a second unit. So counting both dead and injured, we'd suffer significantly more casualties than they would, improving the odds of their big stack making it to [edit] EotS. But as things stand, they're giving us time to attack, heal, and attack again, so their losses will probably be higher than ours.

I don't know... I 'm actually pleased they spread out, instead of keeping to the mountains. I agree they shouldn't have attacked Arashi, and waiting on A9 isn't really an option. If we defeat the 2 immortals next to Monsoon (which everybody agreed to as being a lost cause, and a bonus if we hold on, but certainly no priority), we get another turn before any immortal can attack something besides Arashi. Which means we have 2 turns to attack them, instead of 1...
The main problem with splitting up forces is that it makes it easier for us to focus on a smaller stack, which we can take out completely, instead of only hurting. If they had moved their 11 immortal stack onto the floodplains, there was no option for us to defend it without extreme luck from the RNG. Most of our units will hurt another unit, and not outright kill it. If you have enough units, that means you will lose minimal, whereas if you have few units, you lose all to the second wave.
I don't think the underestimation was done last turn, it happened right before attacking us. It was a strategic mistake to not mass their forces before killing Grog, all the immortals we see could have attacked Arashi this turn. There was no way we could hold that, so we were lucky they didn't do it like that. I agree that, given the current situation, splitting up wasn't a bad choice...
