FWWC - Shrinking fire values

[Volcano Man]

Okay, I have a few ideas, but not all the answers. I would bet VM doesn't know the details either, although he might have more to add.

Everything you mentioned is correct AFAICR. This was all done to discourage massive stacks, otherwise there is no reason not to always create big stacks of 3+ infantry battalions. So there are two intentional penalties here:

1) Higher losses from larger stacks.

AND

2) All units in the stack usually suffer fatigue, because they are all being hit by fire.
