And Reach?
reach fell in 1day
That is incorrect. Fighting began on Reach in late July. It officially fell on August 30th.
The Fall of Reach says it fell in a day, Halo Reach says to lasted from July to August. It depends which you consider to be more canon out of the two.The book is superior in canon, it always has. Actually, the Battle FOR Reach didn't actually begin until the 14th of August when the main fleet of 241 ships arrived with the UNSC fleet arriving just a few minutes after and the defense fleet moving into position. Anything prior were simply skirmishes and small battles, nothing major.
The real battle was between Aug. 14-31.
The only problem I see in this is why ONI let a Supercarrier and several corvettes enter the system just for Operation: RED FLAG, they could have destroyed that ship with their SMAC's and 100+ ships already defending the planet and then would have set up for an invasion against the full force of the Covenant, it wasn't the UNSC's fault, it was ONI's. They could have won...
