Rewinding doesn't mean the game redoes all the calculations, that is why you got the same combat result (dead general) every time.

I can't trust my own generals for accurate statistics, but then I suppose that's historically accurate
That quirk isn't new. The overall commander of a stack (in your case Sidorin) influences the combat strength of the units in his stack with his stats. Perhaps that calculation is only done during turn resolution? But that is just a guess.

I'm talking about losing a general in a battle with no casualties on your side. I like that you actually have to worry about leader deaths in RUS, but I think the intensity of the battle should have something to do with the results. I don't remember ever seeing this until 1.04 and now it's happened to me on 2 different games. Has anyone else run into this problem recently or before?
This has been a very annoying part of RUS since the game came out. Sometimes the only casualty in a battle is your leader. Or a leader dies who was in command of a division within a bigger stack although his division didn't suffer any casualties.
I played a PBEM with a member of the SEPRUS team a while back and asked him the same question Pat does in this threat. He answered that nothing could be done about this.
I guess the game doesn't calculate the leader death chance in relation to the casulaties their troops take.
My experience is that there are some situations where leader death chances are higher (assaulting structures) but even that may be wrong.
Anyways, it isn't completely unrealistic, didn't Kornilov die because an enemy shell landed on his HQ by accident?
