Stack vs individual unit fire

[Glenn Saunders]

Without any actual evidence I have always felt that firing a stack combined has a greater effect than individual units, the downside is that you get less shots and hence less chance of a disruption shot.

Gents:  

That's always been my impression.

When I volley fire an entire stack versus a single enemy unit, there is a higher casualty rate with the enemy unit then if I fired individual units against it.

Now, I don't know if I added the cumulative casualty rate of firing individual units versus a single enemy unit - would it equal three stack volley fires?  It does not seem to hold true here.

Your impression is likely correct. I did say FRD which is fractions rounded down.

I hadn't considered the increase chance of defensive op fire, and a God only knows how many time this has caused disruption to my own units and frigged up a perfectly planned assault.

That said, I'm sure John Tiller would concur, the rare math is all the same.
