It really depends on who the combatants are, since we don't know of any open enemies the Hunters have except the Grim. If there was an all-out war between two human factions, both with powerful Dust users, it would either be all small engagements (but with a lot of collateral damage from Dust explosions) or a complete meat grinder.
