While the main Imperial forces are away, the Lennex Empire comes to play
In case you can't read the stats, I'll put them down.
Imperial Forces:
20,000 cavalry
1,000 cannons
300,000 infantry
250 tanks
100 aircraft
unknown number of militia
Lennex Forces:
15,000 cavalry
700 cannons
500,000 infantry
150 tanks
300 aircraft
around three fleets totaling 1,000 ships including transports.
Who will win?
Who's their general?

Imperial Forces are under General Seville and General Combs.
Lennex Forces are under the command of just one of the many clones of their leader (so no real name).
3400375 which troops have more training and battle experience?
3400380 the bulk of the Imperial Forces are recruits or conscripts. When the Emperor found out the homeland was invaded while he was fighting to help in Equestria, he contacted the capital and gave Imperial Order 24554. All Imperial males between the ages of twenty and fifty were to be called for service to protect the homeland.
Lennex forces don't have a lot of training either except for elite regiments so they rely on numbers to break through.
Not much experience for both sides here compared to the ones fighting in Equestria and on the main frontlines elsewhere.
3400384 on my opinion, depending on how the imperials handle their own numbers, they probably win. The mass against the enemy technique the Lennex will probably use can be easily repelled given a good leader is behind the troops. Yet again, I'm not very much on the knowledge of this, so I'll simply guess. The Numbers are fairly the same on both sides, so I'd bet on the imperials should the Lennex attack as you said, though if the conscripts and recruits don't flee in panic of course and not counting the aircraft. The ships in the Lennex side will probably be great support near the coast, and their superior air number will serve in great disadvantage to the Imperials; in the end air supremacy is what matters.
...I got a little carried away xD
3400393 unfortunately, ships can't help much where the main battle will be and by this time, some of the Imperial ships that went to Equestria have most likely returned to trap the Lennex fleet.
As well as the IRAF have better planes, that have a small advantage in the skies. Not going to be easy on the ground though. If Lennex forces win, they have a clear shot for the Imperial Capital.
3400407 think is, in the end, however controls the air controls the surface. If imperial forces do destroy the Lennex Air Force, then even if the Imperials are defeated the Lennex won't be able to advance much without control of the air. As you say, the Lennex aren't on a homeland or near one, so they'll also have trouble with supplies once their fleet is trapped by the imperial fleet. That will allow the imperials to have a weaker enemy. How do the Lennex secure their supply routes?
3400419 pillage the countryside for food and raid Imperial Supply depots for ammo. They just have to raid the ones with captured weapons for their weapons.
