Thank you, Combat Calculator (RNG vent thread)

Exactly. It was very early in the game, so my Daimyo had just 2 defense. I ran into the city not really knowing what was expecting me there (2 moves used, entering an empty size 1 settlement). Paddy used the cheapest units available, so his expacted loss would be small. I OTOH lost a whole tribe to the RNG gods. Come to think of it, I should get like a year of pure luck for that kind of sacrifice.

Going off the track for a second, T, I played Sengoku through for the first time a couple weeks ago, and highly recommend you giving it a try. It's a warmonger's dream as far as unit selection goes, and several of them are amphibious.
