Let's keep in mind that the Danazines were more or less invincible against the Clanches' Hyper DODS Rifles, so ultimately they had no worry about the military presence. The Vagans had no clue this time that the Gundam was in the area, and had the firepower to take out a Danazine in a single shot.
If the Gundam had not been there, then the Vagans would've completely crushed Olivernotes regardless of military strength there. As for targeting civilians, it's colonization. Needed to wipe out the native population.

Even tough it wasn't in a replacement colonization perspective, the Boer War highlights how the deportation and concentration of the whole civilian population is what brought their men to surrender. This strategy was similarly used in Cuba and the Philippines during the same era. As recently as 1998, during the Kossovo conflict, NATO submitted Yugoslavia by ravaging all their infrastructures, altough with a lot of "surgical strikes" whitewashing: of course bridges, roads, railroads, train station, factories, refineries, power plants and telecom facilities are sound military targets, but guess what, they are the backbone of a country's civilian infrastructure, plus they tend to have civilian around/in/on them.

Besides the loss of life and the recent foothold on Earth, can you tell me what the Vagans have achieved by their attacks? It doesn't appear like the Federation's infrastructure is any worse because of it, and there's no talk of surrender. |
