Sure, but you won't always be in a position to destroy it, so it's situational. For example, presumably given what you have said you are not holding any armies home yourself, so if you don't happen to have people in the right range / off levels with armies coming back in that 1-2 hours, your only option is ops/spells. So situationally, you might be able to NM, NS, steal war horses, but it depends if you have someone able to do that online at the time, and that in turn partly depends what the set up of my provs are. Remember that I am not talking about a KD wide wave time, just a couple of provs hitting together ad hoc, so you would have no way of knowing in advance that we were going to do it and couldn't realistically plan for it in advance.

So I still maintain it's a calculated risk with many factors (such as those I have mentioned along with whether the person in my KD is going to be online or just disappear for 2 hours and then find his war horses gone).
