I don't think a boardgame can reach a level of realistic battle-simulation without becoming extremely long and boring. Its just compromise between playability and realism. That said, it isn't impossible to take away some randomness and still have a very playable game.

On computer level, some games are pretty good as battle simulators, like Combat Mission f.e.
