Well, Hokkido is house Kusari space, it is not in conflict. There have been mining operations there for 20 years. There is a major Police base and a freakin KNF battleship. I think it is pretty clear the system is fairly secure.

If you want to continue with this position, I can procure about a dozen infocards/rumors (vanilla ones mind-you) that state that Kusari's operations in Hokkaido are constantly plagued by the GC and the BD. In fact, that is the whole basis for why the operation only has two semi-efficient gas miners and a gate that hasn't been completed in 3 decades.

What you've posted is in direct contradiction to your house's lore.

Bretonia will have 30 BSs, 500 dessies/gb's and 750000 of small craft.
Basing on that if Kusari wanted to win that war.. they should have atleast of 3 to 2 numbers... it's making
50BSs, 800 dessies/gb's and 1100000-120000 small craft.

West, you're confusing what you think should happen, for the lore. The lore does not say this, you do. While Kusari should have at least 3:2 numbers to Bretonia, lore says differently. Kusari is winning not because they are larger, but because their fleet is more technologically modern, having had to rebuild it after the Nomad War, whereas Bretonia still had their old one intact.

Kusari is also far more extended than the BAF. BAF are guarding their core worlds solely. KNF is defending the core worlds, Tau-29, Tau-31, and invading Leeds and Dundee. That's nearly twice the territory that BAF must defend. So even with a 3:2 ratio of ships, KNF would still be more spread thin in a lot of its territory, and that would be if KNF only had to deal with BAF, GC, and BD.

BAF is fighting;

KNF
Mollies
Gaians

according to lore.

KNF is fighting;

BAF
Mollies
GC
BD
OC
GRN

according to lore.

Involving player roleplay we get;

BAF is fighting;

KNF
Mollies
Gaians
Hogosha

KNF is fighting;

BAF
GC
BD
GMG
CR
Mollies
GRN

Corsairs aren't included in this list, as lore in .85 has them getting pushed back by the Hessians. That is not to say they are not present in Bretonia at all, but they are not a significant force effecting the war. This is shown in lore as well as player roleplay on both sides.
Outcasts for similar reasons, though their impact is still higher than the Corsairs, but I'll give Kusari the benefit of the doubt.

BAF is fighting some pirates and a house military.
KNF is fighting two house militaries, one of them the largest in Sirius, as well as twice as many pirates, and two semi-houses, the GMG and CR.

Now, given your numbers of a 3:2 ratio, you'd still be cripplingly overextended. Maybe not to the point of collapse, but you would not have the ability to hold every front you are fighting; Bretonia, Taus, Sigmas, and internal pressure. And you certainly wouldn't be able to keep Hokkaido as secure as before the war, which means the BD and GC operations there would have an even bigger impact than before, making those operations nigh impossible to produce any significant level of H-fuel.

What I'm trying to say is; What you guys are claiming is not only inconsistent with your own roleplay, but directly contradictory to the lore. That goes for both KNF and Samura.
