so that might be where you're getting the confusion.
The only time Henzo responded to letters during the war was when Velax and Galiard went over his head to Mathilda. Generals have to communicate on a daily basis. It's why it's such a difficult and thankless job, which is why Galiard both got rid of Cathay's General during the early part of the war and why as Galiard's player I am glad not to have to do it anymore: it is tremendously time consuming and I don't enjoy that part of the game as much.
Big wars are about coordination and joint strategy, and Sorraine wanted very little to do with that. That was your choice, of course, but it didn't earn as much goodwill as it might have, particularly when the supposedly awful Ohnar West did an excellent job with it. It was the opposite of what Galiard (and probably Velax) expected. When Henzo did communicate, he came across as undisciplined. This was reinforced when he ditched Sorraine.
Good BM generals are pretty rare.
