Unfortunately luck and also the ability to take advantage of a situation

once presented with it makes up a large part of winning battles (ie: 
games). That's probably why we read and hear phrases like 'no plan
survives 
contact with the enemy', 'the winner is the one who makes the least 
mistakes and capitalizes on those of his enemy'. After all people also 
refer to war as a 'Art' :)
