Losses in terms of what? Is this infantry platoons or divisions
(divisions obviously lose a lot lower percentage as a lot of their
manpower is not in contact)? Losses per day, week, what?
(I have Trevor Dupuy's book on attrition, so I can probably look up
the answers, eventually)
I agree that players characteristically accept vastly higher losses
than a real commander usually would.
