7YW: Different VP Values per Nation?

[Gary McClellan]

It's a specific entry that is for each unit in the oob file.

It's set up to reflect a couple different things. Some of it is the simple value of the troops. Cav is much harder to replace, and thus worth more. Heavy Cav is worth a bit more than Light Cav, and so forth.

The Prussians are typically rated a bit more expensive because of their strategic situation. They really could not afford to take 1:1 losses. Prussia was still a relatively small state and somewhat manpower poor. That was complicated by the fact that Frederick wanted to keep as many of his own citizens out of the army as he could, as he wanted them to be economically productive. Thus, they spent most winters sending recruiters all over Germany trying to get people.

ETA: you an always see a unit's VP value if you rightclick on the Unit information card, along with a few other bits of info.
