Sometimes; on VH, its down to luck. I once fought a battle as pontus against thrace. I had 8 units of Easter infantry they had a petlast general and two units of flaxmen. My entire army, save about 42 men got anihalited. I few turns later I had four units of bronze shields and a chariot general against 8 units of greek armoured hoplites and four units of archers. I won that battle only losing 12 men by using an outward-square formation.
Its sometimes luck!
