We once had to wait a month for Twilight to recover from her ordeals before really attacking the enemy. So we were forced to wait in the Canterlot UnderCity and do small raids for supplies and the occasional light attack on patrol units.

I suppose it did leave us plenty of time to train ourselves up a bit. The lessons from Princess Luna definitely helped against General Esteem.
