RE: Guns Of August Tournament Third Round
It is not unrealistic to leave a rear guard to their certain death or capture. Of course, in a campaign, unlike the scenario, this hold would have only lasted so long.

What was unrealistic, IMHO, was my cavalry charges against the redoubt. I just can't see it, in real life, but in the game their given a 4X bonus! (I only did that when it was clear that I was going to suffer a major loss. Otherwise, the cavalry points would have been too valuable.)

As for the guns' hitting that redoubt, they were bouncing off, like 45's off of a Tiger's glacis. The best results from their shots was "2 men." My only results were from repeated assaults, trying to wear them down. Losses were horrendous.
