I know, on the face of it it does seem counter-intuitive. Allow me to offer an explanation. Say a given unit starts with 100 men. It fights 4 big battles over the period of a year, losing 50 men in each battle (a casualty rate of 50% per battle). After each battle it takes on reinforcements, trains and equips them, and heads out to the next battle. Therefore over the course of the year the unit has taken 200% casualties (50% x 4 = 200%). Does that clarify things for you?
