As much as I agree with this school of thought, and the scramble to recontier after a FUBAR plan is enthralling as someone who adores getting their teeth kicked in with Xcom, though in this case it isn't apt to allow.

If this plan was the product of group imput and consensus with each taking time to factor in one another's skills after having several sorties of experience under there belt, then I'd be all for it. However there was no consensus and no one wanted to take the lead of a group of largely untested cadets and thus this engagement with the Rocs is more tutorial then proper battle.

Though I do find some bemusement in talk of military stratagem when some are so adamantly opposed to their leaders actions. Ires may not be a seasoned commander of men and her plan isn't a stroke of ingenious tactical acumen, but it isn't incompetent either and disregarding an officers orders to act independent is universally detrimental to cohesion, performance, and morale.

Also no one ever asked if this totally not evil Empire we fight for actually has Commisars, indicating that summary executions may occur in the field for such acts :3
