I do not theink the Umiak have a stable to supply line. Their fighting style is kamikaze-like.novius wrote:Were that a scene in an RTS game, one would say that the player on the Loroi side must have made some grievous mistakes even much earlier on to have it come to this.
The Umiak sent in supply ships - so they surely have a stable supply line connecting Leido Crossroads and their controlled space. And even the shells would just be smart enough to mass their forces for a coordinated strike only if they're confident enough to punch through the Loroi defenses and start rampaging in inner Loroi space.
Definitely looks much like the endgame.
I think we're heading to the close of Chapter two and the final days of the Loroi Union as a whole, and Chapter three might start out with scattered Loroi holdouts starting a guerilla warfare.
Why not a support group either? Just send some tankers and frwighters with armament resupply, and your assault group can go much further and lay waste to core worlds it would otherwise not reach. Thus stopping Loroi suplies at other places along the front. Of course they come a few hours after the actual assault group, and not with the front line.
