[Combat Event] - Invasion of Gallia

[Markam]

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate thread for this, but there's one thing about this invasion of Gallia that's baffling me. Perhaps, more than it should, but still.

Why is Matsumoto, a vessel designed specifically for securing positions with its strike craft, spearheading the attack on Lorraine? All the while Hamamatsu, the most advanced battleship in KNF geared towards aggressive frontline warfare "further from home", is guarding Tau-53? Shouldn't their roles be switched?

The Matsumoto was closer, and had a head start. Plus, Matsumoto was perfect for gaining a foothold in the highly developed system of Lorraine. Hamamatsu was designed for the war in mind, and is faster than Matsumoto, so it will eventually take over the assault.

Also this is an invasion, and Hamamatsu, and indeed Hyono, are not guarding anything; they are steaming head long into Gallia. Positions were staggered for both gameplay reasons and also because Hamamatsu and Hyono started further behind, and if they immediately caught up to the vanguard that would make it seem like this attack is not a blitz, with the front ships waiting before they move.
