I think an attempt to gain resources absolutely. The hit was so late tho that it would have prevented max tech for his destock. In other words, it was done to ruin my set with no benefit to his set. I think theres decidedly a difference between landgrabbing for production if you think you can win the retal game mid set, and hitting someone during destock with no production benefit to fluff up their set. Theres a bit more at play than just landgrabbing being landgrabbing.
