An officer who fought for the South estimated that it took four hundred rounds to kill one Union soldier! The point being, that in a 'game' you cannot be too exact, if you strip it down to pure mechanics, then one thousand men shooting at a range of one hundred yards, would kill/wound one thousand men.....and that simply did not happen.
