Most of the events in battles that are attributed to luck can be more usefully attributed to one of three things. 1.) A bad plan. 2.) A good plan badly executed. 3.) Insufficient assessment of enemy capability. It often seems that 99% of the time when someone invokes "luck" it is a case of CYA analysis.

Halsey got "lucky" during Oct 44' in the Leyte Gulf. Had Kinkiad not reacted the way he did, the invasion of Leyte might have failed.
