Well Gallia certainly doesn't use mortars, but the game has the Imperials lobbing them and incinidary shells at you all over the place.
Oh and in the game ALL the platoon commanders wear the same outfit as Welkin. Including a certain map which they hang around their necks. Like, you know, a tank commander would have. So I really wonder why the heck Faldio didn't have his tank on the mission except so that the director could add in a retarded Faldio x Alicia dynamic. |

It was semi-explained in the first episode. Gallia has large deposits of ragnite ore, and it's the substance used to power just about everyone's vehicles. The Eastern Empire invaded for that ore to fuel their war against the Atlantic Federation.

Others believe that the SDF is just that, a self-defense-force, which is not applicable to the work of fiction where armies are often not restricted by some clause such as article 9. Quote:

Here is an example on how a Tank Bataillon on German standard is lined up: http://www.pzbtl293.de/gliederung.html Quote:

Btw. I do have a reason why Faldio did not used a tank. 1. We have two officers: Welkin and Faldio 2. Alicia may be an option to lead the backtroop but this leaves Faldio without command. Not officers like. 3. Faldio has more experience in leading soldiers up to squad strength. 4. A tank would alarm the Imps that they are planning a 2 front battle.

... who said that Faldio had to go with the tank on a flanking attack? Two tanks + infantry is far more of a threat than one tank, so if he'd been as part of the frontal assault, there would have likely been less troops left in the base.
Its not like they actually needed an officer in the flank attack given that Alicia ignored him and everyone else followed Alicia's orders. |

We're talking about World War II-esque tanks that can be heard several kilometers away, so they'd easily give their position away. Quote:

There is no way it could happen like that. You need nano to do this. Refer to anime Shangri-La #5 and you will know what I mean. |

And the other thing is that the flank attack is going through a thick terrain. A tank is there really not a benefit.

So far for me it looks like this anime's couple is FaldioxAlicia. Welkin has so little screen time that it is hard to consider him as someone who could be involved in romantic relationship.
If they are doing a love triangle they are doing it wrong since I do not get any romantic vibes from Alicia/Welkin interactions. And Faldio'sxAlicia's dinamics, though look much closer to being romantic, are so retarded that bores to death. Rest of the squad looks pretty much faceless. So far - pretty mediocre anime and romance in it is simply pitiable. I will watch one or maybe two episodes at best before seeing if I'll drop it or not, but since I will probably see more of that Faldio/Alicia nonsese I am guessing I will drop it. |

Also, can I ask who is the main character in the anime? So far it seems like Alicia. Welkin is sort of secondary character, not really important. He is not even main characters (Alicia's) love interest at all. He seems to be better off with fertilizers.
It saddens seeing how his character is pathetic compared to game so far. Like most of characters. Alicia is turned into a stupid tsundere is pretty annoying. I like tsundere's by the way, but I like those who have some character depth, something that Alicia's character is lacking considerably. Idiotic dynamics between her and Faldio doenst help much either. Though I am glad they kep the crap joke, this anime so far proves to be largely disappointing. |
