I'll give you an example, play a VI campaign as the Vikings. Autocalc every battle. You will win 80% of the time if not more. For the reasons Caravel gave, missiles are not taken into account, thus your uber Huskarls and Joms Vikings can defeat armies when outnumbered 10:1 if not more; even in situations where you could not as you would get shot up by those damned Kerns (or whatever).
