The CM Manual says that providing medical assistance to wounded troops will reduce the number of KIA and increase the number of WIA with some sort of score benefit to the player who provides medical aid.
In my brief tenure here, I have religiously provided aid to almost all of my wounded and even evacuated dead troops from the battlefield. I have even taken small risks to rescue my men (thankfully, no one providing buddy aid has been shot yet) and slowed advances to provide aid.
In addition to the supposed points bonus, it is also just "good fun" to have to do medical evacuation.
But I have also noticed that most of my opponents seem to leave their wounded and dead where they lay. They usually only provide "aid" to get weapons and ammo from downed guys or when it is accidental (the WIA soldier just happens to be in the same square as live men for a few minutes).
My reward for all of my effort? My KIA:WIA ratio seems to be EXACTLY the same as my opponents (about 60% KIA to 40% WIA).
Do others notice this? Is the KIA:WIA just generated randomly? Does it even matter from a score standpoint?
