I have a question for all who might know.  What are the miltary exercises
like?  How good are they, and to what extent can one make observations
about real warfare from them?  How do they determine if someone is 
'hit', and what happens to him?

For example, if I notice that in exercises I tend to loose 70% of my tanks
per engagement, should I expect a similar number in real combat?

Also, what are they like?
