Hmm,
I think you've made an interesting turn with it. Ala Mhigo itself doesn't seem a bad idea. Like Ildur mentioned, avoiding future conflicts can require a bit of hoop jumping, but I think being confident in having a firm foundation to work from is worth it.
Just to expand on his mention of the fall of the white Raven, which was an amazing battle, there's some more information (on that topic, and a few others) over at:

As a note the Reapers are quite the weapon, in almost every situation you use it they're much more potent than most other options. Most of the patrol i've seen have consisted of 1 Reaper to 3-4 infantry so I think your estimate of a force set to suppress a village is reasonable.
