Considering one exercise I was on our company was at only 25% strength - 10 man plattoons (x3), plt HQ of 2 men, plus Company HQ, 30% down isn't too bad (that was normal for us).
Naturally we got totally creamed when we assaulted an enemy position numbering barely a dozen men who'd had no more than 30mins to prepare their position. Besides CHQ, there was only one survivor - me, and that was more through sheer luck than anything.
