Part 4: Combinations of Factors of Combat Power

In real life and most games, we will see combinations of the described determinants of combat power. In some areas we will have more troops with higher morale against elite enemy units on a high ground. In others, we will need to send to mass spearmen to fight other enemy infantry. In such cases one side will have the advantage of greater numbers and terrain while the other side will have higher quality troops with increased morale. This makes it very ambiguous to determine who will win.

In wargames we may sometimes predict who wins by doing lots of calculations. If the game mechanics considers morale or dps to be numbers, which it should, when we can crunch the numbers and decide whether to attack or not.

Whenever we have no time to do maths, or we don't know the numbers, we only have experience to help us decide.
