Wait, what is this? It sounds really interesting...

See, now I just feel stupid because I still can't see it... how can Battler's presence in any way assist them in squeezing Krauss? The cousins are never included in making family decisions (even George, who's in his 20's and rather intelligent just gets told to "go play", pretty much), and the kids never really come up in conversation during the conference, proper, IIRC.
If you want to cover the base of "Just maybe, Father is still alive", then what's the point of excluding Ange? If you go with "Wouldn't put it past him" Kinzo, he hates all the grandkids, too. If you go by EP8, and you think he was a pretty cool gramps, then they'd have the advantage of having two kids to use in whatever crazy shenanigans might arise.
