I'm doing the same thing...but without the books. *sad*
Only, I'm thinking a bit of the other way. Elfangor would have been in the lead, not Jake, and let's face it: Elfangor isn't a ground-pounder. There are no ships with giant shredders to command in an insurgency. (Okay, I know there's a better word than insurgency to decribe their fighting style...what was it... ... damn.) They would have been much better informed, but Jakes instincts counted for so much. Would he speak up in the face of an established leader? He did want to hand over the mantle to Ax in #4. Would Elfangor even take him seriously if he did? (No offence to Elfangor, even I wouldn't give much weight to a FNG.)
Would Elfangor have been able to convince the Andalite fleet to show up sooner, where Ax had failed to do so in #8? How would that have changed things?
