Ill try to dig up the library stuff, but this can be difficult, might be better to look online as I know Ive seen some stats online but never bookmarked them, so the long search begins. Ill send on any links I find.
I do have a comment about artillery you may find interesting.
The statement "Artillery was the major cause of casualties among the infantry" probably deserves a little qualifying. Without seeing the references Id say that its not just the number of casualties thats important but -when- they occoured. At any one time, on most fronts most units sat opposite each other relatively inactive. During these periods other than occassional patrols and sniping the best way to "annoy" your opposite is to drop mortar rounds (or bigger if available) on him any time there is a gathering or any other opportune time. These casualties shouldnt be included in statistics presented to define in-game weapon effectiveness as the game models battles and these casualties occour outside of battles. The question remains of course, what proportion of artillery casualties occour within battles? I seem to remember seeing somewhere that it is actually quite small, but Ill try to confirm this. I also seem to recall reading somewhere that the Mortar was thoroughly hated by the infantry because of its use in this way as a tool of harrassment.
Best Regards Chuck.
