GA is a combination of strategy and squad/fleet strength. Either can be ignored to your detriment. I did not intend this posting to be about strategy. There are other places in the forums dedicated to that.
This was meant to talk about advantages/disadvantages in GA. I think my point has been made pretty clearly that a high relative ratio of fleet power to squad power (both with a singular fleet and in aggregate) can be a disadvantage. This is an imbalance. Skill/strategy can overcome imbalances, but it doesn’t negate the fact the imbalance exists.
