I didn't expect the battle to be easy, but I thought I had a decent chance of winning.
If I had won, I would have actually had time to build another army up. I suppose I could have waited, but it was another 3 turns before my Runemaster was going to be ready, so I figured that we were going to be fighting Cav vs. Wizard anyway.
I guess another thought I had was that I'd rather fight you now than wait until you pulled a summoned creature or other water-walking units up and made it impossible.
I was in such sad shape that it was only a matter of time anyways...
