We rarely reflect just how much blood ends up on the living.
Perhaps, one day, for real reality BLOODBATH will allow the surrounding survivors like 4thMiss to appear spattered with the blood and other bits of the victims. Always said the uniforms stayed much too clean.
Though on reflection a whole new set of gory sprites for everybody and his dog will probably push the memory just a bit to far. And as for AI having to remember just who is clean and who is dirty .......ouch.

Dream on Geoff, but a dead on idea for immersion...real war
Swapping out sprites bloodied by a 'Blown to Bits' comrade probably won't happen technologically speaking in our, us old farts, lifetimes. Or, at least with this type game, tens of thousands of troops represented.
Still, BloodBath rules with SOW for now, I dare anyone to come up and design something better representative of war's gore. And if they can, the bloody throne will indeed be their's, and I will bow with respect to that 'War is Indeed Hell' accomplishment.
