Casualties in both battles were worse for me than for the winning side.
I know that this kind of thing is sometimes possible, but seeing it so quickly with both new patches makes me wonder if there's a problem.
Is this something to worry about? I can submit a save for at least one of the battle results, I think. (I'll have to get home from vacation first.)
Now I'm home, and here's a save (Beta patch 1.16rc2 with the additional scripts Lodilefty posted here, no mods). Playing CSA.
Sterling Price has just retreated from battle in Springfield, MO, but he has been congratulated for his victory and earned seniority. The sides in the battle were equal 1351 and 1350 men. Price lost 215 men and the Union lost 123.
