Luck be a Lady, just tonight or all month?

[Geohff]

Everything was going along swimmingly until Late September. Then all the sudden I got pummeled. So out of 5 battles (all of which were fairly close considering in four of five AI slightly outnumbered me I was on defensive and AI was attacking, and the other one I greatly outnumbered AI), I lost 4 and stalemated one, (the one I outnumbered my attackers). In looking over battle reports luck went all their way, lucky shots, my guys being cowards and etc. So I was curious, how is luck calculated? Is luck re-calculated for every fight, or if its your lucky month (or two weeks) do you get luck benifits in all your fights? Seems a bad series of fights can happen but that turn seemed just a wee much too unlucky.

April 1861-January 1862 it's been nothing BUT stalemates whenever I get into battle not even a slight surprise just constant stalemate in battle for MONTHS.

Luck indicator appears only if the average of the combat dices of your units are rather good, there is no separate 'luck roll' if you wonder...
