For the "30 Minutes of HEL" achievement, you need to inflict 1.8 mil casualties on the German armed forces as Poland in the 1939 start. To get a number that high, Poland will need all the help it can get. So my question is, do casualties on the war screen include manpower attached to planes and ships when they are shot down or sunk?
When playing a seafaring nation, I've seen casualties pile up when I sink enemy troop convoys with submarines. But I'm unsure if sinking combat vessels or shooting down planes has any direct effect on the casualty number. My understanding is that much of the manpower attached to planes and ships is for support personnel, not those sailing onboard the ship, or flying the plane.
For example, on the wiki, every Interwar Fighter uses 20 manpower. Since only 1 pilot is required to fly the plane, I assume the other 19 people represent mechanics, trainers, people to replenish the plane's ammo/fuel, etc. Does all 20 manpower counts as lost when that plane gets shot down due to enemy fire? Or does losing a plane not register at all as a casualty?
I have a similar question about troops that are completely cut off from supply, and suffer massive attrition. Once they lost all their equipment, won't they disappear from the map? I swear I've had this happen to me when I invaded Saudi Arabia in one of my first games, and neglected to take a port.
Since the troops basically starved to death while marooned, thanks to my inept leadership, I would think that would count as a war casualty, even though it wasn't from direct engagement.
