If they have troops in place, then any competent logistics load out would have them here as well. We're talking mostly about personal weapons and a differing set of tactics trained in garrison, not some convex box of exotic high tech goodies.

Unless you or trim stab have inside information from those there, theres not enough information available in the public domain to what the situation on the ground is and thus no way to pass any kind judgement as to success or otherwise.

That said, tactics while dynamic have a common theme of putting you in an unfair fight for the other guy.
