Speaking of the "Oh noes! We can't stop a Fortress!" thing, I wonder how many aerofighters the Restoration had, 'cause a Fortress doesn't just appear in atmosphere, you should have plenty of time to muster your aeros and any 'mechbuster atmo's as you've got pilots for. Hell, it only carries a battallion of troops, let me sub-contract any dispossessed Restoration mecharriors, they can take their pick of the battallion plus of toys I've got sitting in the cargo hold of the Argo and we'll match 'em 1:1 in numbers.
