I still think that it will all come down to preparation. Whoever gets themselves "trenched" in the best will probably win. Considering that all the fighters have are arrows of dispelling and such, a mage would still have a greater possibility of getting set up. They do have some spells that can not be dispelled and/or that do not allow a saving throw. I would imagine that Gate would be a considerable ally in this combat (in combination with protection from evil). Plus mages have spells that can protect from magical weapons of up to +5, but not including +5. This will last for 4 rounds. Maybe not all of the mages would survive, but there is a good possibility that the fighters wouldn't either. Perhaps they would both kill each other and leave an empty battlefield in their wake.
