Atheory's Project: Operation What if Calais 1944

[Ricky B]

So I ran a test and the results match what my expectation, and what the rule states. I tested with:

1. Unit with OOB strength of 494 men, full strength.
2. Unit with OOB strength of 494 men, 247 men strength.
3. Unit with OOB strength of 247, full strength.

Results:

1. Fire=308, Inf=100% (this is the effectiveness mod applied based on strength compared to full OOB strength)
2. Fire=198, Inf=64% - so this unit, at half of OOB strength, is firing at 64% of its full strength value
3. Fire=154, Inf=100%

So you can see that a unit with an OOB value exactly half of another unit's strength, both at full strength, the smaller unit fires with exactly half the strength of the larger unit.

However, the larger unit, fighting at half strength to equal the smaller unit, has a 44 higher firepower rating (benefit) value than the smaller OOB unit, even though the strengths are the same. This is very much in line with my values estimated above, and in direct comparison, shows it is firing with nearly 30% more firepower.
