well, I might agree that a cap on morale loss should be no more tha the
original # of units in the detachment each turn.
   What I was getting at was that if your enemy cannot concentrate his
fire against a single detachment, you wouldn't have to worry about
getting rid of 10 BM anyway.
Tactics. Make the enemy split his fire, and not be able to grind up a big
detachment each turn.

BMs are a good indicator that a detachment is getting way too much
attention from the enemy, 10 BM is a sure sign that the "plan" went wrong.

Running headlong into a prepared defence is not good tactics.
Use Flanking maneuvers or airpower to reduce the arty, then rush up your
units.
