How can you reach that conclusion...!?
Again, reading is good:
Really all they would need to do, with two hours prep time, is apparate all the kids away to a safe location, leave Voldemort with Harry's invisibility cloak, and he solos.
Tell me how the Clones deal with this: Voldemort has a vantage point a good ways away from the action. He sees the clones and their vehicles, casts fiendfyre, and, as it makes it's way towards the clones, he strolls away to another vantage point, away from where the fiendfyre started, just in case the clones fire at where the fire begins.
Anakin? If he escapes the fiendfyre or senses Voldemort? Well, the death eaters apparate back, surround him, death spell him. Yes, he will sense this too, but what's he gonna do as ten death eaters simultaneously cast death spells at him? Die.
Now, as the fiendfyre blazes a path of destruction at them, surely they will fire at it's source, where the gorund is on fire, but Voldemort will no longer be there. He will be invisible and controlling the fiendfyre as he wishes. It will turn the troopers to ash, and will set the walkers ablaze. At that point, it's only a matter on seconds before the troopers inside the walkers and vehicles bail out. Voldemort then directs the fiendfyre at them, roast them, then the battle is over.
They never see him, all they see is fiendfyre, and they have literally no defense against it.
That said and done, the wizards and students return, and it's business as usual for the wizards.
How's that for a slice of fried gold?
