Can you attack a player's last island?

The rulebook forbids attacking a last isle unless the attack would win the game, and the rest follows from that.

Only if the attack would win you the game at once: the capture must give you the winning Metropolis count. If the attack succeeds, the defender is eliminated, and a later loss of that Metropolis in the same round does not undo it. You also cannot take the last island merely to pass through it on the way to a win elsewhere.
