If I attack multiple provinces which have 7 PS, and play multiple Broad Front's, assuming there is no opposing army, seems to me that I only need 15 army strenght to break all involved provinces, since the effect of each Broad Front will be calculated separately, and each one will check for current + targeted PS (7+7=14).
Am I correct?
Broad Front Battle: Target two battlefields that have a unit you control. Move all units at the first to the second. At the resolution of the second one's battle, if the attacking army exceeds the defending army's Force by more than the combined Strength of both Provinces, the battle destroys both Provinces.
Thanks!

Looks right.
To spell out in more detail, if you play one Broad Front on Provinces A and B, and another on Province B and C, the first effect will only destroy Province A and B. The second destroys B and C.
