Ground Combat results?

had this interesting combat below - the japanese attacked a still somewhat stocked (about 800 supply) force with an adjusted value of 4:641

Odds were 1:160, in a shock attack.

so - how would the allies lose 2x more troops than them??????

I have some strange results in pbem game in last turns too, for example 3200 AV japan force attacking 1700 AV chinise troops with forts 1 and ajusted AV is 650 to 2100.... wtf ? ))

very very strange. unless the 'supply -' is the big factor; i checked my troops; about 1/5th of them had disruption of 15 or higher; but at least 30,000 troops were in fine shape, with fatigue/disruption levels less than 4/3. I dont understand, unless the ai factors in troop quality that doesnt show up in the odds table, how this result could happen.
