Meaning that it would be a probe in preparation to the final, full scale offensive of 1602?
Gauging the strenght and readyness of the Sartari and making estimates of the troops needed.
It must have gone horribly wrong and impressed the brass no end. Afterall the emperor himself comes to lead the attack, hires the dragonewts at some inhuman cost, bribes the far off Praxians to engage the Pol Joni, and in addition to many heartland corps he brings the Crimson Bat!!!
Those Sartarites must have really put on a show in those earlier engagements. Talk about overkill...
