shooting question

[Scrumpy]

From a game at cold wars.

A unit of pike & shot take 3 hits from arquebus firing. And nothing from long range artillery.

Which base should be removed from an intact unit. A pike or the nearest shot to the arquebusier ?

If the BG is at full strength, the nearest base to the arquebusiers. If the pike and shot are equally near, the player removing the base can choose which to remove.

If the BG is not at full strength, the proportional loss rule kicks in, so you have to remove whichever type will bring the BG nearer to its original proportions.
