first turn losses

[MrBlizzard]

playing battleground italy as allied,
just making my first turn
why total losses look so high, more than 25k men, when I just lost few squads as you can see in detail coloumn?

Thanks [:)]

Yes, you start the game with some losses already, to account for the past turns...

...note that these are disabled men only. This is a way to fill the hospitals to kickstart the dynamic (you get 1% of the wounded back every turn).

The men who died are forgotten, as always.

These losses are also accounted in victory points, for balancing issues, I guess.

Yes
