Swedish 57th infantry surrenders to Spain

Swedish 50th infantry surrenders to Spain

Swedish 49th cavalry surrenders to Spain

Swedish 48th infantry surrenders to Spain

Swedish 56th infantry surrenders to Spain

Spain wins a small battle against Sweden in Lombardy
Total casualties. 6437. Spanish casualties 551.
(Glory 1)

GLORY ONE ?!!!!?

Referee I protest this ruling.

Parading long columns of be-ragged prisoners though the streets of your capital. Is a lot better for national morale than abstract figures (usually lies) of enemy casualties.

Ask the Russians, they did this in Moscow, after Stalingrad.

Really though. This was a battle of about 100,000 versus 100,000.

POW to casualties as a plus Glory + modifier should be as 10 to 1.

IMHO

Grumble, Grumble

I do agree that you should receive more glory when capturing complete units, OR, when capturing the enemies Eagle/Banner.
In Napoleanic times the capturing of a Equal or higher rated units Eagle/Banner was somethign similar to winning the world cup for that Unit.
Similar, losing your Eagle/Banner to the enemy was a permanent and dirty stain on any units reputation.
If you captured a Guard Eagle from the French, you where a superstar, your Unit would be known throughout the army.
