There are four separate tables containing the actual combat results leading up to the capture of the Japanese city of Edo.

Tokugawa’s initial counterattack in 260 AD
The “Warrior Flutter” in 270 AD
Tokugawa’s 2^nd Major counterattack in 280 AD
The Capture of Edo in 290 AD

The Capture of Edo in 290 AD
This combat table only includes the data associated with the direct attacks on units defending the town of Edo and none of the ancillary combat events in the surrounding terrain.

Except for the really favorable result with the initial elite swordsman, the combat outcomes for this battle were about what should have been expected from the statistical process. The swordsman victory was just a lucky string of stroke victories that should be taken in the context that two battles had been fought during the previous turn (280 AD) involving swordsman against spearmen and in both of these battles, swordsmen were lost with an overall stroke exchange of  9 out of 14 strokes going to the spearmen defenders. Taken together with this one combat event in 290 AD, the overall win rate for the swordsmen was 9 out 18 strokes and that is right in line with the expected 52.2% win rate.
