Talk:Operation BIRD DOG

Something strikes me as strange about the list of planets given here. I had thought that the idea of bird-dog was that it would serve as a distraction and pull forces away from the 'front line'. And that these troops were not relieved right away, but in later waves of Bulldog. It is also said that they 'prevented garrison forces from reinforcing targets of the first wave

This makes sense for some of the worlds listed, Yamarovka, Hanover, Virentofta, Luzerne, and Byesville, were all Wave 2 planets and for the most part fit the description of 'behind front lines' given in Shattered Sphere.

But Asgard, Hyner, Kiamba, and Tarazed were all 1st wave planets, and furthermore pretty much "front line" planets, what would be the point of sending Bird-dog forces to these worlds? It would be impossible to 'prevent reinforcements' of first wave planets if the forces were ON first wave planets, if anything all it would do is give reinforcements sent from other worlds a head start to get there right when Bulldog forces did.

 Are we sure that list is accurate? (Shattered Sphere doesn't list the planets for Bird-Dog.  Guess I need to pick up the PDF for Dragon Roars and see what it says.) Having first wave front line worlds on the list of planets for Bird-Dog makes no sense at all to me.
