This seemed like an appropriate place to raise the point that, whereas in previous wars (ex. GW III Legion) large losses were generated mostly by swathes of members leaving, and somewhat by actual material losses. We see now that, with all the new additions and greater destruction of warfare, losses have reached the point where simple defeats on the battlefield can equal the losses suffered during a run by the alliance's membership (As can be seen by Polars large losses while membership remains stable, as no individual surrender terms have been offered).
