[Corn for the map is a decent enough trade... Hayame will accept. Handling it carefully so as not to burn her fingers, she takes the corn and sets quickly to blowing on it slightly, while also considering the question.]

That depends.

[Sharp canines make quick work of the corn, tearing in to rip them off the cob.]

In Alenroux's case I would go with less bases but more scout outposts, but it will be best for General Zaman to make that call. Which she will be able to do better with proper survey details.
