The defending side has gun platforms that can add firepower if the attackers enter their zone. The attacking fleet therefore prefers to fight away from those positions and treats destruction of the enemy ships as the primary objective. Once the mobile fleet is gone, the isolated platforms can be approached without simultaneously absorbing fire from maneuvering opponents. The episode offers a clear scenario-based lesson in denying mutual support and defeating parts of a defensive system in sequence.
