The overwhelming campaign battle follows from earlier force-design choices rather than battlefield luck. The construction programme is meant to avoid even matches, since an evenly matched battle carries a serious chance of defeat. Procurement and force structure create the tactical advantage before the shooting begins. Concentration and numerical overmatch turn a dangerous fight into a one-sided one.
