yeah this issue comes up quite alot. I think, I brought this up to, comparing infantry toughness in WW2 vs. MBT

Its very hit or miss with infantry, sometimes they can be very resilant and other times they can be very quickly wiped out.

In a recent 1989 battle, I had 2 squads overlook a road interesection. These two squads completely stopped and killed a large portion of the 2 platoon assualt by the enemy. fighting was bettwen 100-250m, while sustaining only light damage. Mortar inderict fire finished off the rest of the enemy.

and next battle, an enemy abush killed a entire squad but one man in a single firing.
