Thing was, neither team was prepared to give an inch, ASCN could probably have done a lot more damage if they'd have been able to get in close, but they simply weren't going to risk that with the Huginn flying around with Webs that work at ridiculous distances, Admittedly, had they moved forward as a block, it might have worked, but one mistake would have left them to be picked off, so I think they decided to just sit it out and take it to the duel. Personally, I don't think an Inty duel was the best way of deciding it, Velator duel would have been fun, admittedly, but I suspect no matter how they decided to resolve it, it wouldn't have sat well with one group or another.
