What would you have done differently if the combat calculator had said you were going to lose. Try to run away? Seems unlikely. Even if you were going to lose, you would still going to attack to try to whittle down the enemy.
If you have preknowledge of the size and makeup of the enemy forces then you might stay back until the CC says you're a winner. You can get some personal satisfaction if the CC says you'll win before the battle, but other than that, I don't base or change my strategy because of what it says (or doesn't say) will happen.

Subject: RE: [mepbmlist] Question about army/dragonsI don't want to go into details of Dragons - GSI won't tell
us would be my
guess as we have asked this sort of thing before. These are a to be
discovered in the course of play. This came up earlier _ i know some
players prefer full knowledge but it appears from the replies
earlier that
this was not the case for most players.I am curious to know what players think about this?

Dragons, regardless of how many you have played with or how
much YOU THINK
you know of them are still a mystery on their full impact on
battles. And
like fighting battles against "fortified" armies you just can
not fully
figure in the amount of damage they inflict on their
opponents. I find that
the battle calculator is not a 100% method of figuring out the battles
outcome. It gets real close sometimes when you can get two
opposing armies
in the open filed and you know the composition of each force,
but when you
throw in dragons, fortifications and the like you tend to
miss the mark.
Length of battles with dragons and/or fortifications can be a
disaster for
armies as well.The battle was lost, stake it like a man, start over and hit
'em again.My two cents,
George
