The fatal flaw is you are down 50 astral pearls, probably an angel or two and the VQ loses... a battle. Maybe a province. There's no reason for that VQ not to charge back into that same province the very next turn, regardless of how futile the odds seem to be against winning.
In my games getting back to the same province would take awhile, even for a flyer. And those can be precious moments since I tend to play nations where I would have an army on the way to her capital.
Meanwhile my angels would be getting ahead of the game claiming the neighboring provinces. True its not a 1-on-1 win, more of a wear-down tactic. But it sounds like a good one.
