It's a pity that gravitational tides don't work that way.
I thought it was neat too, but I also realized that the tides
should create bulges on _both_ the facing and opposite sides.
The place which would be exposed is the "equator" (imagine
the north pole pointing towards Kemp's fortress).
So far I've only seen the first third of the series, but the
strategy which impressed me the most is very easily Reinhard's
strategy to counter Fork's invasion plan. It was the sort of
thing only possible because of the exact nature of the
different cultures of the Empire and the Union, and it fit in
precisely with the powers and limitations Reinhard had to deal
with at the time.
