Re: [eia] Third Battle of Damietta, February 1807

    Hmm...  I'm not so sure about this, Joel.  Wouldn't the Spaniards know
whether they had killed cavalry units or infantry units during the battle?
    In the past we have always reported casualties.  I'm not sure if there
is a rule that says you have to, but I think it makes sense that people
would know whether they killed (regular) infantry or (irregular) militia or
guard or cavalry or artillery.  These types of distinctions should be pretty
obvious, even on a raging battlefield.
    Without doing an extensive search of the rules to back up my position, I
would refer everyone to page 38 of the rulebook where an example combat is
written up.  In that example, the historian records the types of losses
taken during the battle.
    I really think it makes sense to announce what losses were taken at the
end of a battle.  I'd be curious to hear what other people think.
