Does troop quality perhaps not matter enough?

Speaking on troop quality....one thing I have noticed in the games is the number of casualties it takes to break units. I have played games where a squad takes 6 casualties in a single turn retreats and the next turn it is back in the fight. I have been lowering the morale values in preferences on both sides so there is not this tendency to fight to the last man.

i agree about this robo-troop morale. i was fighting egypt vs israel(me) and the egypt infantry (65 exp. avg) would get blasted by he and small arms and the next turn the remaining 2 or 3 men would be "pinned" or "ready". blasting away. i was expecting a banzi charge!!!

One thing to remember about all Steel Panthers type games is that they are suppression games, that is why infantry fires on your tanks with no hope to kill it, it does however (in this game) supppress the tank making his next shots not as good if cannot rally. so always use tranport that can fire on any potential threat before unloading troops so as to suppress them and thereby prevent getting them killed. Spotting is another problem in these games the AI tends to remain unspotted no matter how times he fires, unless you have troops with good spotting ability within LOS of his firing troops.

This code was written awhile ago and while the guys here have done a good job with it, it will always have IMHO "quirks" that Grigsby wrote in (the orignal programmer) which I fear can never be totally removed.
