Not only KIA and WIA, but even those who just become combat ineffective and become a straggler or the like. That can tend to exaggerate the numbers.
I do understand that Gary, and that's true in all of the Tiller games...."casualties" means KIA, WIA, MIA captured etc. No argument there. I just think that this one limited exposure I have (just this one scenario plus some AI foolery) is giving me a sense that the casualties are higher than they should be (e.g. Historically the Americans suffered roughly 450 casualties of all types at Bunker Hill in 2 hours, while the British took 1050; in our battle in roughly 1 hours time the Americans stand at 1300 and the British at 900....while the British numbers are only slightly higher and can be attributed to that over aggressiveness we all know game players can exhibit, the American losses are grossly higher and I'm trying to figure out the why of it).
