Yes. If you're fighting a war, you HAVE done something clever.

Obviously fighting a war GAME is not the same, since you want it to be
even 
enough to be fun for both sides...but you want to have it simulate a
combat 
situation, so both sides should have some idea that they might win.

Historically, of course, we can say things like "In the actual battle,
the 
French lost five ships, so if you lose less than that, you've done
better 
than the real admiral." So perhaps a way to handle that would be to play
it 
the first time and call that the "historical" result.
