And then you let the Computer Associates financial wizards crunch the numbers, because no matter what, your score in each game will be higher than in the previous game.

During the game look at the victory percentage constantly. If your % is over 10% above the enemy your currently above a draw. But remember that the enemy % is only what you can actually see of the enemy. So if there is a flag in the distance and you don't know if the enemy holds it but they do, it would not show up on their victory %, and therefore narrow the scores down.

The % victory is only truely accurate in the later stages of a battle when you have scouted out the majority of the map.

Sorry, this is wrong.

You always have caused enemy casualities that are not displayed in the in-game counter. That inaccuracy naturally increases over the length of the game. At the end of the game, this source of error is much bigger than that of unscouted flags.
