Hmm, yesss, I seem to remember something like that from a long time ago and far away... Let me just observe the battle from over there...
Let's see, we're up against a few hundered *desperate* defenders, who worship a god of Storms. What could they do to us? Raise a storm? Nah, never happen...
I'll also note that Broyan is *not* Sartarite, though that fact has probably escaped the Lunars - he's just another smelly barbarian (High Command? Sartarites? Huh? Unified battlefield and strategic thought? In SARTARITES?!? Right, pull the other one, it's got bells on.)

Not sneak up on, but be sneaky (or, if you like it better, devious). Going head to head with the Bat is a loser's gambit. Storm doesn't have the greatest record vrs Chaos...
But hey, I'm not your narrator, so if he wants to run the Lunar High Command as a bunch of complete tactical idiots, then fine (okay, they were, but Broyan shouldn't be *counting* on that).
And even if the Lunar High Command are CTI, perhaps the leader of the Bat Cult isn't?
