b) Cradle attack tactics are not limited to destruction. In any case, I doubt the Cradle got its reputation by being destroyable with human mage firepower. The point is to have maximum force available to engage the Cradle. Quote:

2) If you finish the ground pounding Numbers fast, you can quickly come to his base and make a fast storm of it instead of slugging it through slowly (if at all). Good correlation of forces equals high rate of advance. Poor correlation of forces means defeat or at best a creep advance rate. The Soviets actually have a nomogram depicting this basic principle of war. Conclusion, you may well actually get to him faster this way. |

They need to disable, but not destroy, the Cradle. Which requires a surgical strike by people with experience in assaulting hostile installations. They need a group of people who can fight in urban warfare situations against the Numbers. They also need some more bodies at Jail's base to grab him before he squirms loose. They don't want him dead because they want to pick his brain to find out what he's left behind as a spoilsport measure.

Well, it's not like RF6 were completely informed of everything prior to mission assignment. They learned of the extra powerful AMF upon entering, and the separate Reactor/Throne after that too. Otherwise, a better planning could had been in order. Vita was being ridiculously stubborn too, I suppose.
On a lighter note, lol at yuri-vision for Teana and Subaru.

Further I think all aces/knights except Hayate and Nanoha had already demonstrated self-transport ability (and I'd be shocked if those two hadn't learnt it these ten years). So Plan B is that they just drop the Forwards off against the Numbers and have the Aces and Knights do self-transport (Shamal can transport the Forwards around if need be). |

Wow... 1-2 hours out of the episode and you're already finding fault with them... ?
Tell me, you've seen this coming a mile away, everybody has... Were you two just saving it all up so the both can rant about it when it actually happens?

While I can see the overall flaws that was necessary to the conditional team-separation for different location battles, due to half the cast lacking flight abilities and the tone and approach they were going for since this is anime being anime, I thought it wasn't too bad in a way. First off, information was shown to be inefficiently managed. Some vitals came after deployment like the extra-powerful AMF which reduces mage effectiveness (( upon discovery )) and the separation due to location difference, alongside with Vita's ridiculous insistence. It can be argued that it might've been different had they known all along. Jail not attempting to escape was a little lol last episode due to him being ALONE, but it does look like he has some important specimens, and it does seem like a large complex. Utilizing Sein for indirect combat assist was a little... since it is a pair of above AAA mages, but I'll give slack. The Forwards can't really be anywhere else but dealing with the grounds, since even Caro and Elio are not exactly that effective in air. An army of Type-2s seem to be capable of outranging them even. The weaker Numbers were shown to be highlighted in a more tactical light, handling the team separation and the threat of Subaru's IS well using Ginga...well, so long as there's no "power of love awakening" device at hand.

My assessment of the situation:
They can't risk getting bogged down at any stage if they try to take the objectives in turn. Ark assumes the defense of the capital will be brief, maybe yes, maybe no. What if the objective of the threat on the capital is merely to draw away forces from the Cradle long enough for it to reach its firing position? Strategically, I'd be willing to leave the capital to its fate. Hope I can neutralise Scaglietti and the Cradle then return to the Capital before it's too late. But I don't think anyone in RF6 is willing to leave the Capital nearly helpless. So someone has to go, that's why they sent the ones that would make the least difference in additional combat capability there, plus one senior combatant. Scaglietti and the Cradle has to be dealt with at the same time. They don't what contingency plan he has for the Cradle if he dies prematurely. They also don't know what backup plan he has in case they neutralize the Cradle in time. This way, they have teams in place in both locations should any such plans get executed. In conclusion, it's a bad situation, it can't be changed, so do your best with what you got. Perhaps Hayate should have had a larger force to begin with, but since episode 4, it looks like RF6's squads are the largest she could hope to get. PS. Ark's analogy with an artillery battalion is inaccurate. That's a force with units with uniform cambat power. RF6 is a mixed force with units with varying capabilities and weaknesses. Try a small force of tanks, infantry and fighter planes instead. Facing HUGE armies of tanks, soldiers and planes coming from 3 different directions. And look at it from a dramatic point of view. The more dire the situation, the greater the victory! Nothing makes the viewers cheer like snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! |
