It looked amazing Roger. I don't know that the casualties being spread around a larger unit is a fault. That actually makes sense to me, a larger unit would have more resilience and would be able to soak up proportionally more punishment without being deterred.
A good experiment anyway and didn't break the game?

Thank you, I agree its not a fault, I really enjoy the rules, this was a bout pushing the size of the units to see where the game stops working quite so well and I think thats all that happened, still a good game.
