Zero Casualties Problem (v1.06) - big pic inside!

Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:36 pm

So I have been having a real issue with zero casualties being reported during battles (what, are these reports being done by the former Iraqi Minister of Information?). Last night I had one particular bad turn where a ton of battles were fought, in Tucson and Nashville. I've included a master pic of the battle reports below.

The first pic is of Nashville, where I could have SWORN I had Ruggle's Cmd turned to defensive and him inside the city. Nonetheless, I am floored that some schlubs like that Union force could come in and wipe up on Ruggle's boys like that, especially without a cmdr. Here's a question, though, for this battle: where are these casualties being sustained? Because I don't see them listed in the 'ranged' or 'assault' columns.

The rest of the pics are Tucson, and the incredible zero casualty issue. I've seen this in other battles - I have no common thread to draw between any instance. Note how many battles ended with zero casualties for a particular side - all of them! :fleb:

Now wouldn't Grant and Lee be stunned?

Anyhow, what is going on here?

I agree 0 casualties is an issue. If you are looking for common threads, in Tuscon you were attacking entrenched cavalry, and ran out of ammunition by the second day. In Clarksburg you were fighting entrenched defenders, started with no ammo, and though the reinforcements had ammunition, they don't share. No idea what happened in Nashville. Was there maybe one isolated unit moving in that turn to reinforce?

Actually, in all cases I was the sole occupier of each region and Federal forces entered and attacked my forces, which were all set to defensive. Now, if the readouts are showing otherwise, then that is another issue.

The only forces I have attacked thus far were a turn previously in Tucson, ousting a sole cavalry unit, then taking occupation of the region.

So if it is showing me as attacker, then that is another thing I am concerned about, as it shows my forces in Nashville as having an attacking stance, and the first battle in Tucson as me attacking.

the littly guy icon represents 10 hits, so if you sustain 9 or less, you won't have it, but you can still suffer some losses.

The posture icon take the more aggressive posture of your forces. Perhaps you had a single element in offensive which arrived during the turn?

Now, that may have occurred.

Thanks for explaining the 'lack of icon' issue.
