Encircled Units

[canuckgamer]

I have encircled a number of enemy units for two turns now. The rules indicate that each turn their shock is halved which is not applicable in this situation as they are all infantry. It also says they lose effectiveness each turn. I attacked one of the encircled hexes last turn and they still inflicted signficant casualties on my attacking force although it was through a terrain hexside.

Can you be more specific as to how much effectiveness they lose each turn as that would determine if I should attack again this turn or wait.

Thanks.

ENCIRCLED READINESS
If unit does not move and is Encircled, then every turn:
● Readiness decreases by 15 if not in an enemy ZOC.
● Readiness decreases by 15 plus the enemy ZOC level multiplied by 2, up to a max value
of 10.
