The Western Way of War today.

Yeah, that campaign I'm S-L-O-W-L-Y working on is based on a similar premise. You start with your whole force, and while no single battle in the campaign is overwhelming you get almost no repair points between battles so attrition is the killer. With the entire starting force the final couple battles are pretty easy, but if you've lost a cumulative 50% in the previous battles ... well ... no one ever said life was easy in the military.

The biggest headaches are getting the damn AI to do what I want (needing to run the same battle 20 times to insure the turn 30 AI reinforcements are doing what you want gets old) and having to use reverse Polish logic in one scenario (you can't assign a negative point cost to a unit, so the ones you can kill are set to zero cost and you win the scenario by having the lowest possible score).
