About Load cost

[DRG]

Load cost is the "weight" of a unit plus the number of men when it's a team weapon like your examples.

In the case of the MMG section (unit 173) the carry cost / load cost is 8......... zero counted for the weapon plus the 8 man crew. The load cost for the 57mm at gun would be 1 for the gun plus 5 for the crew = 6

However, in the Encyclopedia screen what's showing as "load cost" is actually just the "weight" which is why you see 1 for the 57 at gun..that's it's weight. You need to add the weight to the number of men to get true "load cost"

Those rules only apply for team weapons........ infantry "load cost" is the number of men and a vehicle is just it's weight and really should be named "weight".. we would need three formulas tied to every unit class to properly display the true "load cost"
