Indeed - but I'm wondering how it works at all, given the numbers in the FAQ.
Say you have 200 phalanges - that's 3,000 attacking points, 8,000 defensive points and 10,000 defensive points against horses.
They attack 200 clubswingers - that's 8,000 attacking points, 4,000 defensive points and 1,000 defensive points against horse.
So the phalanges attack is 3,000 points and the clubswinger defence is 4,000 points. The phalanges should inflict no casualties whatsoever on the clubswingers. The clubswinger attack is 8,000 points and the phalanges defence is 8,000 points, so the clubswingers should inflict no casualties whatsoever on the phalanges.
The combat simulator says that the phalanges lose 122 men, the clubswingers lose 78. Where the smeg did those numbers suddenly come from?
Oh - and guess who's decided it's time to attack again?
He's now attacked FIVE TIMES in two days, getting nothing, losing 7,000 resources and 36 troops. What a tosspot.
