About shogun battle calculator

Hello
I wish to know if this tool is really accurate because i have some odd result. For ex: monk H2 vs nagi H2 => Monk win with only 6 losses! I don't undertand this result because nagi have higher defence factor (7) than monk's attack factor(6). I am not very surprised by the victory of monks but i am surprised by the very low losses of monks.

I don't use any battle calculators myself, but I can offer a theory for this:

The Naginata will lose badly to the monks, but very slowly. The Naginata won't kill many of the monks, but they will keep them engaged for a long period of time, allowing you to flank them. Therefore, they don't need to kill lots of monks at all.

So the mechanic goes: WM attack. They have a high attack figure, but Nagi have a higher defence figure. Therefore WM need many attacks to get any damage through to the Nagi. On the other hand, Nagi have a low attack figure, and are busy defending themselves, so they aren't able to kill WMs with any efficiency.

I think that this tool is not accurate because i have tried in custom battle: monk vs nagi. The nagi lost but more than 20 monk have died.
