I don't even know where you got this one but stop it, it could not be more wrong.

For the majority of the revolution, and in most skirmishes and operations, the police and military vastly outnumbered Castro's forces. In fact it was the army frequently using large battalions of untrained recruits against small, skilled, hardened guerrilla bands

Don't forget American and British too.

The Americans and British had equipment. The soviets didn't even have rifles for all of their soldiers.

I read this as quality overcoming quantity in welfare.

American tanks vs. German tanks in ww2

For hard mode, I tried restricting myself to battle involving major world powers post WW2, bigger than company scale.

French Indochina War, French colonial forces were good, but poorly utilised and under-resourced.

Chinese first phase offensive in Korean War, while many of the individual soldiers were experienced from the Chinese Civil War, the combined arms and logistics of their forces as a whole was inferior.

First battle of Fallujah, while not exactly a defeat in the strictest sense was still a failure despite vast US advantages in training and technology.
