my theory:

Roman's objective - more dust

Goal - Kidnap Wiess and hold her for ransom

tactic - widespread diversionary assault on Vale to draw off Beacon defenders followed by massive power play against RWBY (spearheaded by Adam & Crimson perhaps)

counterplay - the remainder or RWBY (possible injured) combined with JNPR to rescue Weiss

Outcome - we finally get to see what Jaune is capable of (drived my his infatuation), major team bonding, perhaps significant loss/sacrifice (Pyrrha)
