[@hiddenleafguy] [@Arenasnow] Yes battles are a little weird and can be lengthy. When I GMed this on another forum we decided it like this:
There will be at most 5 mini-battles inside each of your battles. Whoever wins 3 wins the battle(ties go to the defender). at the end of each mini-battle each team calls in reinforcements. There will also be at most 5 battles in a war. Whoever wins 3 battles wins the war, and in their next post they may write the treaty that the loser must follow.
