A combat has 15 steps:
(1) Ask the aggressor for the target sector/ship.
(2) Ask the aggressor further details about the offensive force.
(3) Estimate the odds and possibly ask the aggressor for confirmation.

Now, when your scouts estimate the defense strength, they only count
land units and mil that they see. If your scouts didn't notice the
efficiency of the defending units, then they assume that they are at
100% efficiency. Your scouts also assume that none of the enemy units
are fortified. Once your scouts have come up with an "estimated
defense strength", then that number is compared with your offense
strength. The
