A couple hundred?
I never got the sense that the Ministry Battle was that big. A dozen Death Eaters? Sure, but not much more than that.
Also, yes, that does rather give the sense of, say, a bunch of bolt action equipped riflemen facing off against a modern day rapid fire 20 or 30mm equipped SPAAG. It really doesn't end well for the infantry once the SPAAG decides to tell them to get lost.
