All it does is add complexity and drive up system requirements (graphically at least) to satisfy the whim of a few.

Maybe it can be determined that a % of the troops in that regiment (100) have had wounds that would impede movement (for a Limp Affliction). Because the law of averages and if you believe in soldiers caring for their brothers in arms (not just leaving them to die on the ground) and the nature of crude weapons on the human body. It's not inconceivable.

I personally think of it as a 1 ratio, but that doesn't mean anyone else can't rationalize 100 per
