It is impossible to conquer the Yamrizha Base through brute force; only through strategy can it be achieved.
Anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics and logic would understand this, let alone brilliant minds like Gorchak and Pasiphael. The contest between them is essentially a battle of wits revolving around the question of "how to think one step ahead of the opponent."
Pasiphael's goal has always been to induce a temporary collapse of the Duchy Army's logistics system through limited attacks and strategic deception, thereby preventing the Duchy from dragging the war into winter and achieving a withdrawal before the harsh cold sets in, creating the best scenario for international intervention and mediation later on.
This is arguably the limit of military might in Pasiphael's grasp and what Lapland's national power can sustain, aiming for a temporary systemic collapse in a single theater of war to exchange time for space.
