Carrier Rifle Sections

[Abatis]

.....This does argue for a better attack strength for the carrier sections... but defense strength is another issue. That's where the small size of the unit really should give it less ability to absorb fire and remain in action.

The smaller target/ lesser density should be a factor in this though I would think?...isn't the ability to absorb fire and remain in action abstracted directly into the SP losses incurred by fire?
