CM / PC Casualty Disparities

[McIvan]

The fact is that human wargame opponents tend to be, usually by many orders of magnitude, more agressive than anyone ever was in real life. So in CM, with nothing much riding on the outcome (unless playing an operation), we feel free to expend all our forces on pursuit of the overiding objectives.

PzC takes an approach which assumes, I think, units "pacing" themselves for an engagement which can last days if not weeks or maybe even months.

Also, firing in PzC should not be taken as representing what CM does....CM is definitely a PzC "assault"......one with a 50% loss riding on the outcome to boot. It's not at all difficult in PzC to annihilate a unit/units in a single turn, and in that respect it can be just as bloody as CM.
