As a start point for a discussion over Battle Casualties, following excessive losses reported by some NCP users, I started collecting and posting some data.
Battle losses
For any battle I reported starting forces and losses relatively to:
Infantry |Cavalry | Guns, in that exact order.
Infantry and Cavalry are expressed as thousands men. Guns as single unit. Winner side is asterisk (*) marked. Losses % are calculated over infantry and Cavalry, while guns are omitted.
Siege Battles are assaults to besieged enemy occupied fortresses, providing defensive benefits to defender side.
Battles from Prelude to Leipzig, 1813 Spring, Modder Times scenario.
Player COA side.
