I'm going to day no to the 168 day war not being overwhelming odds as I knew it would be a defeat before it happened by the numbers, DEIC was in no shape to fight regardless.
I mentioned Octkerfest before, considering we didn't have the numbers to attack Guardian we weren't even closely even matched. We just got a bit of a surprise attack, had we being against tS, SK and TEst if they were fully militarized we would have being defeated quickly by just those 3 so they always had the advantage in that regard.
