What would be known before a battle is fought are numbers, weapons, terrain, quality of moral and generals, and your army’s tactics and a general idea of the enemy’s tactics. Just with that you can be certain of the outcome of most of the battles ever fought. For example, the Germans didn’t doubt the success of the paratroopers in taking Crete, they just didn’t expect such high losses.
What we don’t know that could influence a battle are weather, (you usually know sabotage before the battle starts) lucky timing, etc, but are they significant enough to change the general sway of a battle?
Foolish mistrust of generals for example is known prior to the battle itself, so it is a known factor when estimating if a battle will succeed or not, that’s what I mean by “reasons that affect the outcome of the war”.

The answer is somewhere between dice and low luck
Dice are too volatile - low luck is not nearly volatile enoughTake the discussion elsewhere please, gentlemen :-)

juan (axis) over bold (allies +16)
at least the dice taught me a couple of “never agains”…
look out for juan come playoff time - this man brings cow dice in his bag of tricks.
good luck the rest of the way juan!
Great game Bold, learnt a lot from you, and yes, this is the game I remember in which dice helped me more, however I am happy with how I was able to change my usual strategy with Japan. Game was in effect 99,99 % yours in round 6.
You have the restart option when you wish.
Midway in 4-7 June 1942…, was not low luck… and completely changed the course of war. I agree with Bold. LL is boring and unrealistic. The number of games I have played at which regular dice have changed the winner are below 10% (being this one of them) if you play better, you are usually able to compensate the challenges.

Nerquen (Axis) defeats Arthur Bomber Harris (Allies + special)

Just to make sure you know, the last result won’t count unless and until you both have completed 10 games total - only best of 3 against a single opponent is counted officially in the league unless both players have completed 10 games, when best of 5 against the same opponent is counted…
Just explaining why only the first of those two results is recorded (if I have it right, those were games #2 and #3 and Nerquen won all 3)

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Garg has won handily in our long-awaited bout.
Gargantua (Allies +6) over Shin Ji(Axis)
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=34749.new#new
Things were going really well for me, it seemed. I had Japan doing better than I had ever seen before! But, unfortunately, the fact that I had never actually won with Japan before meant my understanding of late game Pacific strategy was sorely lacking.
A very informative game! Thanks, Garg.
