[@Willy Vereb]There will be only token resistance from the naval forces stationed on the islands, yes. Once a far larger and more devastating fleet arrives from the mainland, then the naval battle will kick off in earnest. The land war will be defensive from my side at first as well, until reinforcements can arrive.

It'd be better if most of your forces will be at hand while reinforcements will be only a concern if the battle is actually in my favor (so as to spice things up).
