Ask the European Union.. They give out money to everyone that asks for it

Yes, we got this joke. Still though, he is from Montenegro, which is not a member state of the EU.

Yes, I meant to say damage per shot instead of hits. Why? because originally they can withstand 4 hits, but not 5 (4 * 16 < 5 x 16 = 80 = squad lost) and after the health buff they can withstand 5 hits, but not 6 (5 x 16 < 82.4 < 6 x 16). This means they can now withstand [(5-4)/4]*100% = 25% more hits. However, the length of the battle is not related to hits, but expected damage per shot, because it is related to the chance of a shot to penetrate (0.66 x 16 = 10.56). To account for this, we can, for instance, repeat it 100 times. You did it for 1 squad, which means you have rounded off a lot of numbers. This is important, because the battle can last quite long if there are very few penetrating shots/hits.

If I do the same for 100 squads it approximates the true values. So, 100 squads can withstand 499 hits, but not 500 (499 * 16 < 500 x 16 = 8000 = squads lost) and after the health buff 100 squads can withstand 500 hits, but not 515 hits (500 x 16 < 8240 = 515 x 16). This means they can now withstand [(514-499)/499]* 100% = 3% more hits.

Your math would have been right if chance would not have been involved, because then, the case would be the same for every single squad.

Unfortunately, The Scheldt is a river, which doesnt freeze.

Nope.

Hmm, you spam posts about increasing/decreasing costs on all sorts of units, yet you dont value bulletins that decrease costs of upgrades and abilities...?

I would think that a slightly earlier faust or flame HT upgrade, for instance, can favorably determine the outcome of an engagement, especially when you are cut off and your income is +4 or so.

The game is too insignificant, like Mega Man ZX.
