Running Shoes

[uneducated]

Do the rules take into account how much running/charging/fighting a unit has experienced during a battle, other than in lost manpower or some reduction in cohesion?

Computers are idea for tracking fatigued units and it oughtn't to be too difficult to code into the game.

Discussed several times, fatigue from movement would encourage passive play and combat fatigue is already modeled by performance loss from casualties (that units always suffer in heavy or prolonged combat) and from low ammo. It is presumed that units move at sustainable pace outside of charging and pursuing.

This is the latest wider discussion of fatigue.

That is a good reason to be passive, but then there ought to be an incentive of some sort in the victory conditions to counter this. For example, time pressure might be used to favour activity.

Like I said, the fatigue is already modeled even if there isn't dedicated fatigue gauge. The soldiers are used to marching and physical labor so walking or running a few hundred meters is not going to exhaust them.
