How big is the light infantry bonus in forests?

David B. said:

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse here but it just doesn't make sense. The manual says forests are ideal terrain for light infantry since heavy infantry is at "a huge disadvantage". Does a heavy infantry unit completely wiping out a light infantry unit of the same tier while suffering about 20% casualties sound like it is at a huge disadvantage? Light infantry should be able to defeat other unit types in the forest or else there is no reason to use them at all.
