1. We don't have to come south. Maybe we will, but that's far from necessary. Again, you really don't get the strategy at work here, or even our objectives. But I'll leave that to IC.
2. We won the last campaign pretty solidly. Again, look at the CS chart. In fact, the whole history of the war has been one of Terran displaying a faster and bigger recovery after each campaign than Aurvandil. Maybe ya'll will turn that around this time, wouldn't surprise me, but thus far you've managed to "win" battles but lose every fighting season.
The Moot has seen uninhibited growth since the Long Winter, but Aurvandil continues to struggle.
This. And hey, Luria Nova wants to attack you too... it's not like the Luria-D'Hara conflict will last forever. Once the big ol' Lurian family is reunited, I'm sure they'll be able to send you plenty of christmas gifts.
