Unit hitpoints are a function of unit sides, but specific quantities do not correspond with the number of units. This is made clear with the rules on recovering casualties, where low level clerics can 'regenerate' lost unit points. Unit hit points are suppossed to represent the 'general' ability of a unit to stay in combat, and thus corresponds with not just the number of units, but individual morale, cohesion, etc.Look, just as regular hitpoints are not simply a reflection of con, so the same applies to the OMCS equivilant; a pretty deft, subtle handling of the rules if you ask me.</blockquote>
