However you would be right to point out that the Harchongians could move in from the rear while the allies were preoccupied with Dohlar, especially if the timeframe were to be extended.
If Dohlar can be contained with light forces, I agree that it makes sense to go after the Harchongians and let the navy do the heavy lifting with Dohlar once the Haarahlds and the ironclads are in place.

A couple of points here. Ahlverez is heading for Dohlar exact route to be determined. He has ~40K troops ~10K of which are Desnarians. He will either get trapped against the river with the bulk of his army captured, or find a bridge (either high level (able to sail ships under) or drawbridge) in which case he will make for a border town where he believes he can supply his forces and fort up. That army will be useless for offensive operations for at least 3 weeks, and quite possibly 3+ months.
The Mighty Host will suffer the main problem of very large armies, it's very size will make nimble operations impossible. It will be unable to move beyond secured high volume logistics without starving.
