Default Newbiew question about Infantry firefights.

What affects the likelihood of casualties when squads fire on other squads? I'm just starting SPWW2 and I feel like I must be using my squads wrong, because I seem to be taking far more casualties than the enemy, even when the conditions under which we exchange fire seem far more favorable to me than them.

In particular, I started a long campaign as Germany, and in my first battle with Poland I put some infantry squads in a line of trees facing a patch of open ground. As Polish squads approached my position, my squads' fire seemed to have no effect, but the Poles seemed to cause a casualty every single time they returned fire. Given that my squads were stationary in woods, and the Poles were moving in open ground, it seemed odd. Any advice or suggestions?
