So Orph had a very good point, how every battle turns into long arguments and totally kills the topic, so I have a slight suggestion.
I've seen it on some other rp forums as well. Basically, make an OOC section.
When you go to make a battle/war topic (excluding fighting within a regular topic, more fore the full out fight topics,) you make two topics. The IC topic in whatever world, and an OOC topic of the same name in OOC section for things such as discussion on the topic OOC, and most importantly, ARGUMENTS. Talk it out in that topic when you have a disagreement, and when the solution is found, whoever has to chane, modifies their post in the IC topic. This keeps the IC in topic and less confusing.
