The spiritual answer is that they had God on their side, but the fact is that they were poorly equipped but had better battle tactics than the Syrian-Greeks.

Answer:"Better battle tactics" isn't enough to explain away the open miracle of the Maccabees' victories. Yes, "victories" plural. The battles were fought over a twenty-eight year period. In several occasions, the Maccabees faced Seleucid armies over ten times their size; and the Seleucids were equipped with elephants and were battle-hardened soldiers, whereas the Maccabees had not had any previous military training or experience. God's help is actually the only sound explanation, like it or not.

When you win a war do you pay them for what damage you did?

i'd say it depends with who started the war. If they did, then they deserve it. If you did, you surely should or they sue you. If another person did but you started it, then they are lawsuits before you two. So it depends. And sometimes if they did, you'd help for your pity; but its not mandate.
