There has to be some leverage that the Alba are using on the 86, otherwise if it was an option for them to simply not fight and sustain themselves, the whole statement that they are "forced" to fight would be false.
And if they are forced to fight, then fighting without proper support would mean certain death.

Also while handler can give instruction, it's on processors to screen it. You could see Spearhead squad for most part do their own thing and only listen to Lena advice if they deem it helpful.

As I mentioned after the first episode the whole "war" situation makes no sense. Either the 86's are an effective fighting force, in which case they should be attacking the Alba, or they are not in which the whole thing is even more of a farce than it appears now.
As for the whole family held hostage thing. You have to wonder how many have family if they have already burned through all the adults with millions dead. (For that matter how do they still have an active army at all? That is worse than any defeated army in human history that I can think of.) And who would believe that any of them were getting out of the war alive by this point so you might as well go out fighting the people who slaughtered you family or just stop fighting and let the robots do your work for you. |

Not to mention Republic provide means of communication as well. In first place 86 do not have to be effective fighting force, they just have to be effective fighting force enough.

But this is anyway a completely farfetched scenario, nobody is even remotely thinking that Lena is a psychopath and they are not questioning her competence, they just consider her a sheltered princess who needs to act all compassionate to their plight to feel better about herself. Quote:
Of course it's a completely different story if the Alba actually have an army to defend against not just the 86 but also the inevitable waves of legions after that, but that leads to the other possibility that they aren't really fighting the legion with all their might and they are using this situation to simply get rid of the 86.

Well, Episode 3 certainly gave the rest of the cast some serious development. To the point I feel more resolute in continuing. But certainly as some others have said, world-building would help. Beyond the first episode, the rhyme and reason for the war and why things are this way is vague at best.

That's certainly not the official version. They claim the measure they took was necessary to survive, not that they are doing the bare minimum to defend against the legion and getting rid of 86 as a bonus.
