Status: offline 		whenever you load an infantry squad onto a tank or apc that doesn't have enough space, do the surplus infantry units that were unable to board that vehicle get counted as casualties at the end of the battle and will you need to expend points to repair that infantry squad at the end of the battle (providing they don't take any combat casualties.)

I've always been a bit suspicious if not the infantry losses were a bit exaggarated. So I made a quick test; lined up a bunch (30) Shermans for butchering by the hands of 20 Tigers. Tigers shot up the tanks one by one, gunning down crews as they ran away. Tigers suffered no losses. (ok ok this was also a test to see if a regular 76mm M4 had a snowball's chance in h*ll vs. a Tiger at 20 hexes...)

End score counted U.S. personnel losses higher than was ever present on the battlefield! And yet there were unscathed tanks and crews remaining on board. :cool:

Any idea why?

It worked fine here, two tigers vs 5 shermans, at the end 25 men dead and 5 vehicles destroyed. In your case were any of the vehicles abandoned? That might skew the numbers.
thanks, John.
