Assaulting

[Ricky B]

Hi Glenn,

I responded on the basis that Lien's comments are based on a situation where the defender is disrupted, or disrupts from the first assault, and is unable to retreat. It has to be the case for his situation as there is no other way as you say for the losses to progress as stated. So you have a disrupted defender, it will lose half its strength each time it is assaulted, as long as all attacking units do not disrupt, plus whatever losses are caused by the assault losses. Thus, the next assault will be against basically half the strength of the prior assault, and result in half the losses -hence the losses going 120/60/30 (approximately). So all is okay, and no need to delve deeper into this, it is working as it should, just not all the facts of the situation laid out.

Of course, if any of my assumptions are wrong - disrupted defender after the first assault or unable to retreat, then the situation won't happen unless some unknown bug, but I am sure that is what is happening in Lien's post, even if not stated. Has to be that - never seen it any other way.
