' Wrote:I understand that Gallia forces are more powerful than the other four houses but they aren't 'OMGZ R SUPER HUMANZ' they can be defeated and IF Kusari/Bretonia fight together I can see Gallia being quite easily being pushed back, and also Liberty/Rhienland way also see this and assist Kusari/Bretonia. Gallia is the same size house as the other four and they have a larger pirate situation. I don't see how they could pull this off for long.
Just me.
Gallia has four hundred battleships. Bretonia has a dozen or two. Gallia outnumbers any other house by a considerable margin, though they can't fight all of Sirius at the same time and win. United, Sirius can win, but divided they're pretty much doomed.
As for the tech concerns, Council tech is far superior to GRN tech in my opinion (as someone who uses both). GRN ships and weapons have a nice learning curve (unlike the Agama, which does not tolerate mistakes). Have no fear, Gallic tech will not be "balanced" to roflpwn everyone. The Valor may be strong against other battleships, but it isn't invincible (as shown by Cawdor's cap tourney) and it's actually quite vulnerable to snubcraft. You may spend quite some time fighting it, though, as it has more armor than everything smaller than a Rheinland Battlebrick or Juggernaut... and I can't think of one that doesn't mount at least a Cap VII.
You -can- win. You just have to not fly right next to Glaive hardpoints, or try to overpower the Lynx (especially with HFs, the hardest thing to teach Agama pilots).
