The Romulans ran for the zone because they didn't want to start a war outright. No one could prove what happened to the outposts because of the cloaking device. At that point there is no proof the Romulans did anything. Then a federation battle cruiser/starship shows up. Even though they had those weapons, they hadn't tested them in battle against the federation.

The mission was a hit and run against the outposts, which largely succeeded until Enterprise appeared.

So it was unsuccessful and should have started a war.

Plus, seems unrealistic to think the bases wouldn't be able to send out distress calls or even video of the attacks linking the Romulans.

Also silly to attack every base directly on the border with the neutral zone. I mean who else would it be attacking other than the Romulans. If they truly wanted to be stealthy, they would have cloaked deep into Federation space, and then hit a base far from the neutral zone.

I stand by every flaw I mentioned. Seems implausible they would get away with destroying 9 bases fairly close to each other without any knowledge of the attack linking the Romulans getting back to Starfleet.

Still say the weapon was a joke. Too strong and with the huge flaw of being slow and once again, all kirk had to do was ask helm to head right or left and it would have harmlessly missed.
