The Question: Should you train or fight first for maximum damage?

I was thinking and I wondered if you should fight first or train first for maximum damage. So I decided to do some research on http://erepublik.ws/battle and got an answer. I will first look at myself.

Wellness: 100 / 99
Strength: 16.256 / 16.296
Weapon: Q5 - 296 / 295
Q4 - 267 / 266
Q3 - 237 / 236
Q2 - 208 / 207
Q1 - 178 / 177
None - 74 / 74

As you can see I do more damage if I fight first then train. It is not much but it is still more damage for you buck. What if I had lower wellness, would that make a difference.

Wellness: 50 / 49
Strength: 16.256 / 16.296
Weapon: Q5 - 212 / 211
Q4 - 191 / 190
Q3 - 170 / 169
Q2 - 148 / 148
Q1 - 127 / 127
None - 53 / 53

When I have lower wellness it doesn't if I fight or train first when using Q2 - no weapon. If I am using a Q3 and up weapon then it matters a little but not much. Lets see if I use a medium strength/rank erepublik citizen. I am using Galbatorix9z, a Captain, for this example

Wellness: 100 / 99
Strength: 7.68 / 7.72
Weapon: Q5 - 108 / 108
Q4 - 97 / 97
Q3 - 87 / 86
Q2 - 76 / 76
Q1 - 65 / 65
None - 27 / 27

If you have a medium strength/rank person with high wellness then if doesn't matter much unless your using a Q3 weapon. Lets look at if he had low wellness.

Wellness: 50 / 49
Strength: 7.68 / 7.72
Weapon: Q5 - 77 / 77
Q4 - 70 / 69
Q3 - 62 / 62
Q2 - 54 / 54
Q1 - 47 / 46
None - 20 / 20

It still doesn't matter unless you use a Q4 weapon, then it matters just a little. Lets also look at a low strength/rank citizen. I will look at PAPPOUS, a Private, for my example.

Wellness: 100 / 99
Strength: 3.2 / 4.2
Weapon: Q5 - 27 / 36
Q4 - 25 / 32
Q3 - 22 / 29
Q2 - 19 / 25
Q1 - 17 / 22
None - 7 / 9

If you are low wellness then you should train first then fight. This is because people of strength under 4 gain more strength per day then someone over the strength of 4. If PAPPOUS decided to fight tomorrow then he should fight before he trained.

Conclusion: If you are a high strength/rank citizen then you should fight first then train. If you are a medium strength/rank citizen then it really doesn't matter, but I would fight first then train just to be safe. If you have strength below 4 then you should train first then fight for maximum damage.
