This is basically a Numbers, Predictions and War spinoff, an attempt to model battle casualties distribution essentially based on QJMA, Dupuy's system for modeling battles in general.If you are allergic to statistics, steer away.If you're not, this is the only book I know of that presents a detailed analysis of how many and what type of casualties occur in battle depending on troop quality, technology, posture, environment, etc...Not exactly entertaining but certainly enlightening
