I enjoy the game so far and am very fond of the editor. Also, the mods available in this forum are really useful, as is the link to the great Kronoskaf site. Can't wait for part II of this game. Anyhow, I recently played a self-built battle (1.12 patch not yet installed) and had an Austrian regiment (19 soldiers left) wipe out 41 men in a single salvo. I had always been under the impression that the number of casualties is not linked to the number of shooters, but that result astonished me, it's certainly counterintuitive. So am I right in assuming the strength of the regiment is irrelevant for the casualties its salvoes cause?

Greetings

Note that the editor make you avaible to decide not only to strenght of a unit but also a number of casualties per hit. Standard is 12-16 but you can change it to 1-10 so single salve take max. 10 person (of course if others modifiers are on normal stand)

Based on that shooting strength formula, the unit then scores a number of hits, both the likelyhood of which, and the amount of casualties each produces, you can adjust.

If you change the scale, particularly when reducing the time/turn you'll have to tweak those settings accordingly.
Overall, the system is rather abstract, and doesn't scale down too well - certainly not to the level of where one combat phase represents just one combat action like a single volley.
