BG1's "The Siege is Afoot" Edges:

 Attacker 

Overrun: One does not simply overrun an entire castle by charging at it with a disregard for life; Also given that Ryan's troops have little to no armour to defend themselves from the barrage of cannon fire and arrows high up on the walls

Force Surrender: Despite the low loyalty of her troops, I think Celina's troops won't surrender the castle to Ryan's men if they see that they can easily mow down the latter safe and sound from behind the walls

Single Combat (if it ever happens at all): 2 things that could end the battle quickly - 1) impossible but probable, a lucky shot to the face with the throwing knife; and 2) the more realistic solution, a well-timed crossbow bolt for Ryan - I find his crossbow a little bit easier to operate than the arcuballista

 Defender 

Force Surrender: Well I think that Ryan's troops will surrender given their low loyalty to their leader but Ryan himself won't do so given his pirate-like die-hard attitude but like Skull pointed out, it is possible for the overwhelming majority to kill their commander and then surrender

Annihilate Attacker: Most likely since Celina's troops are safe behind the walls of their castle as they mow down a lot of Ryan's troops by the dozen; heck they can do this with their eyes closed since Ryan's troops are just barging down without a care in the world

Survive for four months: If Celina takes out Ryan's troops early and quickly, then she wouldn't have to worry about surviving at least that long let alone one month

Single Combat (if it ever happens at all): Given the long loading time of the arcuballista, her only real chance of victory comes from the sword fight but I doubt she will be survive that since the cutlass (methinks) will deliver a deadlier cut than the gladius and same goes for the boarding pike; the real kicker of the battle however which will cause Celina to lose in the single combat is the crossbow with flaming arrows which can cause damage to the scutum and pierce her plate armor if she doesn't load her arcuballista fast enough

 Tie 

One General Down: Not likely for Ryan's men to win but for him to die since either Ryan will be killed as part of a mutiny or everyone dies trying to charge the castle; same with Celina except she's safe inside the fortress

Both Generals Down: Never gonna happen for reasons as implied in the above statements. Need I say more?

 Overall Winner 

Easily this one goes to Celina Lucyna - she might not be exactly clear in the head but at least her army is more willing to obey her and given their array of weapons, she and the troops should be able to hold the fort nice and easy until Ryan's men are either all dead or present the head of Ryan as part of a surrender scheme
