Yea, I'm with the shoot-a-few-volleys-and-charge school of thought, so my casualties, while still high compared to M2TW and RTW, is not so bad, usually 20-30%, 40-50% if its a real grind 'em out, beat down 3 stacks at a time type battle.

I found out playing RTI having a shootout wasn't the way to go (did you know in RTI the French have fire by rank and you don't? lol); I do agree they should make teh routing threshold a little lower (not that much lower though), sometimes I'd have 4 regiments on their flank shooting and they still wouldn't rout.

Naval battles are even lighter on casualties. The most ship of the lines I've lost was 2, in a 12 british (me) vs. 14 french throwdown (all ships of the line).

Now playing VH/VH
