I had this exact same thing happen in my Bactria game! I took Theodotus and, uh, that third loser-general dude, two pantodapoi phalanxes and two arstbara units and marched them into Dahyu Haomavarga, and they got ambushed by Thuxra and 9 units of horse archers. I specifically remember, though, that even though my army was outnumbered by 3:1, the odds were still calculated to be 2:1 in my favor (perhaps the AI already knew it was just going to charge its HAs directly into my pike-tips ).

In my case, Theodotus got Likes Easy Battles (and it was an easy battle; I just stood on top of a hill and watched them impale themselves), and he got Barely Victorious (I assume this is because his win/loss record after the battle was 1/0).

All my generals get Barely Victorious after their first battle, except for two who went straight to Crushes His Enemies (and drives them before him, etc; I like that write-up). I've only ever got generals to Normally Victorious after like three or four battles.
