[eia] Battle of Tunis - results

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    The Tunisians were apparently tired from moving back and forth across North Africa in an attempt to stem the tide of Spanish incursions.  But the Spaniards were rested and ready to avenge the loss of Blake and his corps!
    The Turks begin the battle with 4 Tunisian infantry factors and 4 Tunisian cavalry factors in the Tunisian corps commanded by Kushanz Ali, morale = 2.5.  The Spaniards begin the battle with a combined 7 Spanish infantry and 6 Spanish cavalry in the Spanish V and Spanish Cavalry corps, morale = 3.0.

Round 1:
The Turks roll and unmodified 1 on table 2-1, inflicting no casualties and no morale damage.
The Spaniards roll a modified 4 on table 3-1, inflicting 10% of 13 factors = 1 casualty and -0.8 morale damage.

Round 2:
The Turks roll an unmodifed 2 on table 3-1, inflicting 5% of 7 factors = 1 casualty (just barely) and -0.2 morale damage.
The Spaniards roll a modified 4 on table 4-2, inflicting 15% of 13 factors = 2 casualties and -1.6 morale damage.

Round 3:
The Turks roll an unmodified 3 on table 4-1, inflicting 10% of 5 factors = 1 casualty and -0.7 morale damage.
The Spaniards roll a modified 4 on table 4-3, inflicting 15% of 12 factors = 2 casualties and -2.0 morale damage.

The Turks break in the 3rd round, so one of their 5 casualties must be cavalry.

Pursuit:
The battle lasted 3 rounds and the Spaniards sustained 0.9 morale damage.  This results in pursuit class 4.  The Spaniards roll an unmodifed 4 which results in 30% of 6 cavalry = 2 cavalry equivalents.

Totals:
The Turks lose 4 infantry factors and 3 cavalry factors.  The Tunisian corps survives with just 1 cavalry factor.  (Kushanz Ali wipes his brough and breathes a sigh of relief.  He almost suffered the same fate as Blake!)
The Spaniards lose 2 infantry factors.

Spain +1 PP, Turkey -1 PP.
