What bonus do you get from being the defender in instant battles? Its getting real frustrating being attacked, outnumbering my opponent with all my units at normal disposition, most were inspired, quality was at 3.00 for most of the units and one corps was at 3.90. And my guys were all armed with mini�s, springfields, and spencers and I am still defeated lopsidedly 17k to 2k, and 29k to 9k. What dose a player have to do to win a battle?

Did the screen show you were getting a +1 for terrain? And a +2 for entrenchments? I've had this combination come up a "loser" 4 times running.

I don't think so, he is in instant battle, that just compares things and makes a die roll or something like that

I have lost a couple of no brainers in HW that I stopped let the game finish off the battle with Instant battle

Instant battle in detailed combat is a very crude way of resolving combat that mostly uses the will-to-fight numbers to determine casualties and the battle's victor. The intention was to give players who had fought a battle to the point where they had a clear advantage a way of instantly "mopping up" -- it's not intended to be a very good model of combat.
