The axeman wasn't attacked as it had all its HP's

The extra combat listed doesn't change the odds already written, so you did have 99.3% odds, you were just unlucky enough to roll the 0.7% 8 times in a row.
Is that the way he odds work in Civ? I always thought that the 99,3% was the overall chance of winning the battle, instead of the chance for each attack. In that case Matrix would have hit the 0.7% chance which is a lot more likely and also saves him a trip to buy some lottery tickets.
I thought it was per battle, but even if its overall then the 99.3% is the chance of just winning the battle, it doesn't say whether you would get damaged or not.

If your right then the per battle odds would not be that much different so the odds would still be very very high
