I had forgotten that Russian-controlled corps have an intrinsic tactical
rating of 2, that makes the modifiers for Algeria +1 (cavalry superiority),
and -1 for Spain.  You had this right, and what I did in my summary was
wrong.

Since Algeria was rolling on table 4-1, a roll of 2 means 5% casualties (-1
I).

Rolling on table 3-4, a 0 gives 5% casualties (-1 C, since the Algerians
broke).
Total losses: Algeria -1 I, -1 C; Spain -2 I.
