•We extend the classic Lanchester model to a three-sided conflict.•The force-allocation between opponents can determine the winner of the battle.•The initial force sizes and attrition rates are crucial for the outcome.•By eigenvalue analysis we identify regions in the state space with differing winners.•In some cases an opponent cannot win, but determine the winner by its force allocation. |
