That's exactly what I did too ! This (retreat at least 1 fleet to
capture Kircheis/guard Iserlohn) is the most natural move in the
circumstances. Can't believe Alliance can be stupid enough to just
leave one fleet (practically a supply fleet) to guard Iserlohn, as if
Amilitzer is the only entrance into Iserlohn.

A half yes, even in theory. In my view, where a substantial proportion
of citizens are struglgling to live, if the government can provide the
basic necessities (and rights) to citizens, it does not matter to
those struggling ones who is in power and what type of gov't it is. It
is only when everyone, or at least a majority of citizens, need not
worry about their lives will it matter what governmental structure is
best.
Pardon me for any unintelligent views I have.
