Oh my, why not just give Hogwarts everything under the Sun? Having a constant reset button renders this battle moot, not that it wasn't once the massive gimping started pages and pages ago. Anyhow, while she's circling high above, a drop ship rams into her and turns her into splatter.
Half apparating is what the death eaters and the OOTP members were doing in the ministry battle. Remember when Tonks was chasing Bellatrix around, Bellatrix was black smoke, Tonks white? Thats half apparating.
Here, I posted this earlier:

Apparition and Disapparition
Apparition is a magical form of teleportation, through which a witch or wizard can disappear ("Disapparate"😉 from one location and reappear ("Apparate"😉 in another. It is sometimes accompanied by a distinctive cracking or popping sound, though this is associated with ineptitude rather than success; the most skilled wizards can Apparate "so suddenly and silently" that they seem to have "popped out of the ground" (Dumbledore). The act is also accompanied by a very unpleasant squeezing sensation, as though being sent through a tight rubber tube, according to Harry.
A wizard or witch can use Side-Along Apparition to take others with them during Apparition. Dumbledore uses this on Harry several times, and notably, Harry uses Side-Along Apparition to take the weakened Dumbledore back from the seaside cave containing Voldemort's locket Horcrux. In addition, Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, used Side-Along-Apparition to take Dumbledore with him when avoiding arrest from the Ministry. This suggests that phoenixes, like elves, can teleport anywhere, even in places with Anti-Apparition spells (this is also written in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"😉.
In the "Order of the Phoenix" film, Death Eaters and Order members Apparated and Disapparated in clouds of smoke. Death Eaters would appear and disappear in black smoke, Order members in white. In the movie, both sides also seemed to be able to "half-apparate" in which their bodies were made out of smoke, giving them the ability to fly. This is not canon to the books and probably just used for more cinematic, atmospheric purposes. Interestingly, both times Fred and George apparated and disapparated, they did it with a pop as in the books.

The clones are "Just attacking", remember? They have no idea what an invisibility cloak is, what fiendfyre is, what half apparating is. Voldemort will be invisible, fiendfyre will be cast, it will tear through the Clones like Supermans sperm tears through a condom made of tissue paper. As the fiendfyre burns clone after clone to ashes, the rest are gonna be looking for the source of the fiendfyre. Not finding it, seeing the inextinguishable flames bearing down on them, they will scatter, well trained or not. Scatter away, the flames will find them, the flames will destroy them.
Here, at 1:00, is fiendfyre:

And here, at 4:54 to 6:12, is Half apparating:

Voldemort can control fiendfyre as if it were an extension of himself. The Death eaters can cast fiendfyre too, but since Voldemort can handle the clones, their role will be to take out the vehicles. They apparate behind the clone lines, then half apparate towards the vehicles, casting Dimuendo on the vehicles, making them micro machines or hot wheels, or Wingardium Leviosa, toppling them. Wingardium Leviosa, Everte Statum, Alerte Ascendare or even Levicorpus will work here.
While this is going on, Dumbledore will be half apparating/full apparating around, mopping up the mess. He will help with toppling the vehicles, and take care of any clones that stray from the pack.
As for Anakin, Dumbledore and Snape, and probably a few other well trained teachers, all attack him at once. Sure, Anakin probably senses this and dodges a couple of spells, even takes out a teacher or two, but he WILL be hit by a death spell, he cant dodge them all, you know. Powerful as he is, he can only do so much. If he becomes too much of a problem, have Harry and a few others casting Expelliarmus on him while Dumbledore and the others attack him en horde.
And as I said before, Hermione, circling on a firebolt in the clouds above, has her time turner. If te battle goes wrong (It wont, but just in case), she can turn back time half an hour and give the wizard another chance.
So, Fiendfyre roasts the clones.
Dimuendo, Wingardium Leviosa, Everte Statum, Alerte Ascendare or even Levicorpus takes care of the vehicles.
Dumbledore, Snape and a dozen teachers or so take care of Anakin.
Hogwarts takes little if any damage, all the students inside survive, the wizards take minimum casualties.
BTW: Not sure if one can half apparate and casts spells at the same time, but it doesnt really matter. They land, cast the spell, then take flight again, just as easy, same result.
This is all done without Dementors, innit cool? 😄
