The plan proposed by General Verle put a lot of different advantages together in the hopes of producing a remarkable result!
As long as the Spirit of Bentheim loaded up with a lot of powerful ranged mechs, she could theoretically compete against an alien warship so long as the opponent was not too powerful!
The problem was that the aliens had a lot more ships at their disposal.
"Those yurzen warships won't remain idle if the Spirit of Bentheim begins to harass the alien fleet." Master Benedict pointed out. "What if the aliens dispatch dozens of yurzen warships to back up the puelmer heavy cruiser under fire?"
This was a legitimate concern, but General Verle already took this possibility into consideration.
