This is not a simulationist system. Any calculation you try to apply to on on simulationist, derivative principles is going to give you very strange numbers in short order. Every effort to date to apply mathematical operations to HW numbers, frex in calculatiing troop quantitites, have run into farm more difficulties than is justified by the results.
