Perhaps making takeovers more difficult, but the results more permanent, 
would provide a proper incentive?  If it took ~500 men total over two 
weeks to conduct a (hostile/brutal) takeover, the takeover would be 
vulnerable and blitzkreig impossible.

Wars of elimination (or even decimation) would be long-term affairs, 
then.  If you're proposing a 4-month long war at minimum, "attack that 
border region, hold it, and make peace" sounds a lot better.
