Remember one thing, the time period between each episode is not consistent. They may extend from days to weeks to months or hours.

After the battle of the bridge she trusted him but not enough to talk with a reporter.

For episode 7-8 don't forget that Welkin saved her from the rubble and they both fought hard to get out of there. By 8 Alicia was asking Faldio more about Welkin and that's when she started to develop feelings for him. Episode 10 they had a time out by themselves and therefore could talk to each other on a more personal level. Given the fact that she's his right-hand man they are literally spending tons of time with each other.

- In episode 10 we see members of the squad waiting for missing Alicia and Velkin, risking theirs lives in enemy territory. Before we have seen that most of squad members doesn't trusted Velkin, nor had any warm feelings towards Alicia. Why their attitude changed? Again there is no reason.
Is there any reason why they shouldn't be risking their lives for them? They're your commanders.
If a commander takes care of his troops and looks after them then wouldn't they return the favour?

Welkin has proven himself to be an able commander that has pulled off some pretty amazing victories. Largo and Rosie were the most vocal against him but after he proved himself in battle they admitted that he was competent.

- Velkin is supposed to be a military genius. Again without a reson, I haven't seen anything justifying it, his tactis was no better than expected from average trained sergeant in any modern army. Officers of Galia army are portrayed as total idiots, so maybe in Galian army not beeing a total idiot is enought to be know as military genius.
All Gallians are suppose to attend military training, therefore Welkin and Faldio already had a foundation to build upon their military leadership skills.
That and you forget that Welkin's fighting in his own country, he knows his grounds and the fact that he's a crazed biologist means he knows the terrain better than anyone and has used that to use advantage.

However, it's a caste system so obviously the higher-ups really have no skills but are simply there because they're nobles.

Quote:
- Two of four main leaders of Alliance army infiltrating enemy capital. It's pure idiocy. But again it might justy Velkin as a military genius. He is just average but because all other leaders, in his or enemy army, are morons, so by comparison he is a genius.
Not sure where you're going with this.....

What? Tanks can't carry snipers?
