And the remaining 12,000 brave Union boys of a once Grand and large Army

[berto]

All joking aside, in a recent Atlanta scenario game, although no leaders were killed, in a titanic 8-9 day siege battle, virtually the entire Army of Tennessee was annihilated. I estimate that in those 8-9 days, the South lost 40,000+ men, and the North 30,000+!

This doesn't seem quite right. Maybe because it was the last turn of the scenario, and the objective was to take Atlanta, the Northern battle AI was unusually persistent?

Questions: Is the battle AI perhaps too tenacious, and keep the two sides battling long after their "historical counterparts" would have put a (at least temporary) stop to the awful carnage? Do other players think that maybe this tenaciousness needs to be toned down? Or is this to be expected from sieges? (But I can't think of any siege assaults in the Real War that lasted for days and days on end.)

looks rather ok'ish to me.

My battles never last more than a day! Even if the battle involves over 100k men and tens of thousands of losses. I guess my men are just too efficient at the art of killing . . .

This example doesn't look like an outrageous result to me, rather an isolated force getting whipped out and it's leaders couldn't relocate to a safe city.

[Hohenlohe]

In one of my battles as Union against the South I reduced the Northern Virginian Army of the South to his generals killing only two of them.I did not remember the losses but they were awful.
