>Sounds like SHORT is the operative word.  IIRC 40% losses to a unit will make it combat ineffective.  These are Company (@100-150 troopers) size units, right? Hudak might want to consider activating his bond, but Atkinson might want to "re-group" too.

I'm assuming that half or more of my "dead and wounded" will return to duty at some point--maybe tomorrow, maybe after the campaign finishes. 

And in fact, from a financial point of view, the Arrows have lost considerably more than the Hooligans have.
