Default Re: Ground Combat Lessons

Just a comment about using multiple troopships in simulataneous play. When I tried this, the ships fought independently. That is, the first ship landed troops and they fought the militia and lost. Then the second ship landed troops but the militia had regenerated so they fought and lost.
So I don't split up my troops in simultaneous play.
Your troops were totally defeated in the 10 ground combat turns, right?

In this case, I only lost 20% of my forces each 10 round GC. Since my troops were still fighting a stalemate, the second troopship added to the battle, and the militia did not get to regenerate.

During attempt #2, my troops survived 4&1/2 turns of combat, and I know for sure that the militia did not regenerate while the combat was still going on. They started at 300 Militia units, and I killed an average of 50 per round. There were only 102 on the 5th month of GC, and they ended with ~75.
