Here is the battle report everyone was looking for. The ideas was
the Dwarves not to attack, and for my army to hit the walls.

Battle at 2715
In the Warm climate of the Mixed Forest of 2715, a conflict took
place about midday under a omen-filled sky.
At the head of a rebellious army rode Veteran Odagus of the nation of
the Woodmen. The mount on which he
rode moved with trepidation to the center of the battle lines. Behind
him the forming ranks were filled
with:
Troops Weapons Armor Formations
500 Woodman footmen w/hand axes bronze leather ragged ranks
600 Woodman archers w/long bows arrows none ragged ranks
At the head of a calm army rode Lord Báin I of the nation of the
Dwarves. In his hands was borne the glowing
Hammer called Hammer of the Deeps. The mount on which he rode moved
calmly to the front of the battle lines.
Behind him the forming ranks were filled with:
2600 Dwarven footsoldiers w/war hammers bronze/steel bronze/steel
ragged ranks
300 Dwarven footsoldiers w/battle axes bronze/steel bronze/steel
ragged ranks
300 Dwarven archers w/crossbows arrows none ragged ranks
At the head of a calm army rode Captain Wodurishak of the nation of
the Dragon Lord. The mount on which he
rode moved calmly to the front of the battle lines. Behind him the
forming ranks were filled with:
Troops Weapons Armor Formations
400 Troll footsoldiers w/battle axes wooden none a mob
100 Mannish slaves w/maces bronze leather a mob
The Major Town of Dol Guldur flying the flag of the Dragon Lord is
situated in the Mixed Forest here. It is
fortified by a Keep, and it is under siege or attack.
Report from Odagus.....My commanders moved among the troops before
battle, readying them, bolstering their
resolve, and issuing last minute orders. Some of the troops needed
this encouragement but others were
checking the readiness of their weapons. Finally the order was given
by the blare of the bugles.. Surround
them. Attack from all sides!
Against the forces of Wodurishak, we quickly surrounded their
standard formation.
After the battle had joined in earnest, heroes made their presence
known all over the battlefield.
Report from Odagus.....Our archers fired volley after volley but the
trees made accurate firing difficult.
Our foot soldiers fought around every bush and tree, always trying to
push through the underbrush. The
troops fought well, but they could have been better trained. They
fought as if uninspired. Although we
fought hard, and although the battle lasted many days, we were
defeated..
Commanders on the scene ordered their troops to salvage what they
could from the remains of the enemy
forces..
Captain Wodurishak: 1452 Food
After the battle.... Odagus's forces were destroyed/routed in the
battle. Odagus appeared to have survived.
Báin I's forces found no enemy armies to fight. Wodurishak's forces
were victorious in the battle, but
suffered huge losses. Wodurishak appeared to have survived.

the combat calc v2 actually does factor in a forty bonus if you
tweak
it right. As for being 100%, true. But I reckon the combat calc is
95%
there and personally I believe that whatever combat variable is
plugged into equation is a very small one and does not turn
battles. I
am still very interested to find out the full story from that
woodmen
battle, relations and fortifications do NOT explain the drag lord
win.

Is it possible to see the battle report?
