Using the Cold War Extension mod, also AoD 1.07. (Um, I think. Not the most recent update, but the one before it):
Late game. I have 6x lvl 13 marine divisions assaulting an island defended by 3x lvl 9 marines, one 71 inf, and one lvl 10 cav.
The divisions on the island have been reduced to bare minimum org, I outgun them, and there are no forts. Theoretically it should almost be a cakewalk.
But instead, all my divisions lose all org and all str within about 8 or 10 hrs.
I have looked at the battle and the +/- are in my favor. I am combat supplied. I have a field marshal leading. Almost all land doctrines have been researched, including max invasion size of 8. They are dug in, but that's only a +20 advantage.
The battle doesn't last two months, it doesn't last two weeks, it doesn't even last two days. I not only lose, but most units die - not retreat but die - within a day.

Anybody think of why?

p.s. If it would help, I could post the savegame.
p.p.s. I should note that the misc.txt file is modified. But only modified to give ground attack air some punch, and to reduce the effects of stacking penalties.
The stacking penalty is not straight-forward to change, but after several experiments i think i got it fairly well balanced. At least for this battle the bonuses/penalties are, as they should be, about the same.
