Document Summary
The player with more resources in each city wins that city. What maximizes the probability that they win (i. e. destroy at least one site) is contingent on what the attacker does. If the attacker sends all resources to one site: The defender should split resources between sites as they will win 100% of the time. If the attacker sends all two resources to the same site, the defender will win 50% of time if they split resources (2 for one site; 1 for the other) If the attacker sends all two resources to the same site. The defender will win 50% of the time if the send all resources to the same site. So, splitting resources is never a disadvantage regardless of what the attacker does. What maximizes the probability that they win (i. e. destroy at least one site) is contingent on what the defender does. The attacker knows that the defender maximizes payoffs by splitting resources between sites.
