Oh boy that's some insane stuff you got planned there.
Though I would consider it a bit suicidal.
Good wars are all a bit suicidal.
In a somewhat related vein: Do not duel for a vote when your character gets old, especially when you know your opponent is better than you. Light wound turned into a standard wound turned into a serious wound... Quasi-good thing it can't get worse!
At least you still won the election!
