This seems really simple, but how much force (minimum) does it take to destroy a province with 6 strength?

A player, 1 July 2009

Your attacking army needs to have a total Force higher than the defending army's (if any) plus 6. Thus if the province is undefended, your army needs a total Force of 7 or more.

Battles, Resolution Segment: If the Attacker Wins: [...] 2. If the attacking army's Force was greater than the defending army’s Force plus the Province Strength of the province the current battlefield is associated with, the Attacker destroys the province.
