If you listen to the rhetoric. That alliance at founding was only the same size as VE. Hosp/Kutt are fighting over 200 people(between all the clans) with there roughly 70.(90 at most) They are outnumbered 2:1.
They are outnumbered 2:1 now, maybe. But whose fault is that? There was nothing necessary or inevitable about the official Hospitaller/KUTT alliance having to fight against VE, FCC, Norse Horde, Remnant, Fallen, DL, and Teutonics together, despite the fact that all of these factions are, for the most part, working independently of each other.
