Well yeah, but I meant the military theory. I do see you are good at HTML as well.

I got into it while wargaming. Lanchester's good for a basic understanding of the process. In actuality, somewhere around Round 2 or Round 3, Side B would realize that they were getting creamed and would try to flee. Also, most engagements don't begin with large numbers of guys wandering up to each other and blazing away--patrols tend to bump into enemy patrols or positions, and everyone would start shooting at each other while the commanders tried to figure out what the heck was going on.
