Why are the Imperials starving to death? Last I heard the void elements of the Imperial defence was managing to re-supply the land elements enough to continue a ground war so why would they not be able to keep themselves supplied, given the supplies would have to float past them?

Maybe if a large/powerful enough chaos fleet blitz'ed to Cadia they might be able to extract some (small) elements of the chaos forces and flee, before been overwhelmed. Thus the ground war would eventually be won no doubt, but Abaddon/some key chaos would still be at large, so GWS could continue to play out the long war.
