7.1.4 Hand-To-Hand Combat
When both sides converge and the firing stops, then a hand-to-hand melee begins. The hand-to-hand combat points of each battalion are calculated as follows:
EF x SQRT(HC) x Men x TF x z(1.2)
250
EF:Experience factor (see battalion lists on turn report)
HC:Hand-to-Hand combat points (see 9. Army Tables., p104)
Men:Headcount (see battalion list on turn report)
TF:Terrain factor (see 7.1.5 below., p66)
z(1.2):Random number between 1 and 2
SQRT():Square root
The combined combat points of all battalions make up the army's hand-to-hand combat points. The combat points are divided between all enemy battalions, which lose approximately one man per point.
