No issues with that analogy, sounds good. Thanks.

I have a bit more time now....
The fanaticism of certain large units like SS or Guards was more operational in nature at times than tactical. For instance. The SS were told to hold in a particular area. The General commanding the Division got fanatic and had his troops fight without giving withdrawl orders.
On the other hand, the tactical fanaticism can be very real. SS troops know that if they surrender they will more than likely be shot. So they fight very hard to keep that from happening.
All of my scenarios are based on actual fights so it's easy for me. As I said I just see how the forces responded on any given day. If you were making a fictional scenario you could use whatever level of commitment you thought you wanted to model. Just about anything is appropriate at a particular point in time and place.
Good Hunting.
