Light Infantry... what the ****

Thats all IMHO anyway.

I disagree, IMHO of course. Accruing fatigue faster during a battle implies that the field is covered in rough terrain -- which rare if ever happened.

On the other hand, marching troops for long distances was exhausting -- even without rough terrain. Ancient military strategists describe the danger of fighting with already exhausted troops, and apparently took it seriously.
