One of the campaign map's mechanics is that, when tagging an enemy fleet to engage them, nearby allied fleets can join the battle at your side. However, the range at which an allied fleet can join you or whether they actually will is very unclear. I have had multiple unpleasant experiences already of chasing an enemy fleet alongside a larger allied fleet, tagging them and seeing in horror that the allies are too far or unable of joining the fight for some reason.

Perhaps an icon near allied fleet circles or even a small line connecting them to the enemies would do the job of indicating who can join what.
