Beginners questions

Another interesting book suggestion. Also let me congratulate you and the team, HPS games are the best I've every played in many years of wargaming.

I spent some more time with the opening moves of Sicily. There are, in fact, subunits all over the map that would be more effective if they were combined. I see this will take some time because many of them will be disrupted for some time while others are engaged with enemy units. I did have a few units that I combined, but I noticed something that seems unrealistic to me. I combined one unit of 38 men with 30 fatigue with another unit of 7 men with 217 fatigue. The resulting combined unit had 45 men and 217 fatigue, that doesn't seem right. I understand that 38 rested men can't give some of their "restfulness" to 7 tired guys, but a unit in such circumstances would let the 7 guys sleep while the other 38 remained active. I also understand that if the unit moved, the 7 tired guys would slow it down. Still, it seems to me that the fatigue level applied to the combined unit shouldn't be the fatigue level of the most tired unit in that combination, I think it should be averaged in some way.
