Unit Breakdown Penalty

[Jeff Conner]

Gentlemen

I think that it would easier to understand this dynamic if you consider it to be a modification rather than a penalty. For battalions, the average fatigue gain per casualty is one. So a battalion of 300 men that suffers 10% losses, on average, gains 30 fatigue points. The average fatigue gain for a company is three per casualty. So a company of 100 men that suffers the same 10% loss, gains the same 30 fatigue points. If this modification is not included, then companies become much more potent than battalions, which for some of the reasons mentioned above, is not realistic. Hope this helps.
