RE: Atheory's Project: Operation What if Calais 1944
I understand the point, and it has led me to see the error in my thinking. I was thinking that the mechanic applied to all unit types, but it only effects infantry. I will adjust accordingly.
I will end this by explaining how I viewed the "penalty" in this discussion. It serves no purpose other than to bring closure to this matter.

If you have two similar units with the same stats, one has a 200 strength and the other 100. The larger unit is reduced to a strength of 100. Now both units are equal in strength and stats, but now that reduced unit is weaker by the percentage calculated through the pdt values. To me, that is a penalty for the originally larger unit when compared to the other unit.

Before Combat
Unit A (same stats) / Unit B (same stats)
Strength 200 / Strength 100
Effectiveness 100% / Effectiveness 100%
After Combat
Unit A / Unit B
Strength 100 (half strength) / Strength 100
Effectiveness 60/70%? / Effectiveness 100%
