I'm thinking here that the size of the army corresponds to stack size. Not much you can do about misrepresenting that.
You would need to have superior weapons for your army to prevail, and while AQo is a pretty good weapon, by itself (i.e. unimproved) I don't think it's anything to get frisky with. Think, standing up and challenging the Chinese Army with an AK47.
