A leader loss check

[cjsiam]

So your basing the leader loss "metric" on the destroyed wagons....not the destroyed units within the wagons.
3 steps of WPN/Personnel were destroyed.....

If you had a truck, with an infantry squad and officer destroyed in same way....
(say we know they were loaded because the trucks moved full distance in their last move (I'll come to that...))
if the truck was "blown to smithereens" you're saying the leader would only take a -1 because the truck was hit 
(and ignore the lost of a full platoon)....

A few questions---
1) why was the leader not blown up with the wagon---was he not loaded?
2) If it's because "he has enough MP to move without loading in wagon--" well, so does the Infantry...but if
the Infantry is destroyed (a 2X...combat units and transports) then he would take a -2 for the Inf --and something for
the gun...
3) In the Truck example above--the Inf/Leader cannot (say it was road...ok!!...) move last turn (or this) and make it too
the hex without being loaded--so they (both) are loaded...

So---I'm thinking what matters is the Units...the Transports are not the loss or where the leaders energy/resources are focused...
I don't think he divided his team up among the trucks, in the front cabs---but had them spread among the riders in the rear...
when stuff happened to the INF, it happened to them...
-3...
 -2 is kinda gamey, IMHO....
