1116 What Are Allies For?

While Max and Nico began to organize the data they were getting from the first few attacks, hoping that they could get some sort of useful analysis of the enemy's capabilities from the footage that was being streamed back to the Alliance, the Envoys were doing the same, but with a very different approach.

They were rating them by the output and area damage capabilities of their weapons, instead of the effectiveness and style of their tactics. 

Both were important, but the Alliance didn't view their army as a fully customizable force. They had used standardized equipment for so long that it was more logical for them to assess enemy capabilities and determine what their casualties would be, instead of calculating the effectiveness of enemy tactics first, and then building a force to counter them second.
