The question I raised regarding to the ability of the Alliance Admirals were different to those fought against Napoleon. Napoleon faced enemy who were given the power regarding to their blood rather than their ability. However, in a democractic system, the ability is the only thing that counts. Therefore, the inability of the Alliance Admirals were very doubtful. Battle of Astate is a very good example. It appeared that the commanding system in Alliance side is not bad but non-existed. All three fleets were under vice-admirals. No body out ranked everybody. No body dared to take control. There wasn't even a regional battle commander. Everybody followed a plan without alternatives in mind. For any soldier, those were fatal errors. I wanted to question how the heck did those vice-admirals got to their rank without being killed. Warfare is an old profession. They were like kids. No wondered they were all killed and injuried. I guess you guys have read my post on those errors for alliance so I am not going to repeat the same old words. Next time I will talk about the Empire.
