Strange battle report?

Sat May 16, 2009 10:28 am

Not sure if this is correct, it probably has something to do with the size of the different units engaged and the hits inflicted by them. Just won the battle of Mohicans Village as the French but I thought that the battle casualties didn't look right in the report. I suffered 19 ranged hits against 24 for the British and only 12 assault hits compared to 21. Casualties report however says my losses were 728 men compared to only 710 for the enemy. Is this right? :confused:

Hi!

Yes, its what you say.
French regular units have more men per element than british units (200 vs 120) and tropes the marine has also 200 men but less hits (8 instead of 10 IIRC).
So 20 hits on a British stacks will be shown as a lot less casualties that on a French stack.
As the men per hit are just "flavor" numbres this is not a real bug (the combat result calculatiosn are done on hits and the result is OK).
But definetely it sometimes look strange (those damned redcoats are really resilient! :D )
This is one of the reasons why element sizes should be as homogeneous between different sides and unit types as possible.

Cheers!

Thanks arsan, thought it was the unit size thingy.
I think standard unit size for each different troop type might be the way to go, maybe not historically accurate but probably better game play. Just my tuppenny worth.
