What we know so far:
1.) In the 'little battle', Ansom split his forces into fliers and nonfliers.
2.) Fliers can only be attacked by other flying units when over dense forest, moutains, etc.
3.) The basic unit of Erfworld is the 'stack', comprising up to eight individual 'models'.

Exploit:
Unlike Ansom, Parson doesn't split his forces into fliers and non-fliers.

Parson creats a stack containing at least one flying unit. That stack, should it be in dense forest, mountains, or over water, can only be attacked by other fliers because it contains a flying unit.
I'm not sure.

The logical (okay, logical by the real world) reason for only being attackable by fliers due to terrain is that the terrain is impassible to ground based troops. Also, when the attack happens, the combat will be between Parson's few fliers and Ansom's full stack of fliers. (This assumes, of course, that 'attack' is reciprocal, which it need not be: ground troops may be capable of defending.)

... and then you drop the One Ring into Mt. Doom and win.
