Waving the white flag

[DRG]

FYI..... the original SP2 code counted any loss as a "kill". One of the very first things I did for SP2WW2 where we didn't have access to the code and any change made was done with a Hex Editor was to change "men are KILLED" to CASUALTIES becasue it is more accurate..not every shot kills, quite the opposite and when a unit disperses what that means is that unit is no longer a combat effective unit....what happens after that is not "game related"... what is game related is they are not a factor in yours or your opponents effective fighting force so you could count them deserters, stragglers, shell-shocked survivors or anything you like. Yes the game does not model surrendered troops quite the same way as reality but it's really not that important to 99% of players IMHO. The POINT is they can't hurt your troops any longer. By the time the game gets to the point where an enemy justly defeated would consider large-scale surrender the game will end automatically and you'll get the end game stats screen.
