Do the Honours rules allow for figure removal or are the same as Black Powder?

"No figures or bases are removed as a result of firing or melee. Hits received are recorded with a single green mini-die (or an alternative marker of your choice) and are cumulative throughout the game"

I prefer that to figure removal.  You end up with tiny units all over the place.  At Waterloo it was noted the Enniskillens took heavy casualties and still stood - 1/3rd.  On a table 1/3 figure removal is 'just getting started'
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I'm still old fashioned and like to see the units whittle down under fire/melee.  :D

Firing can be quite brutal in HoW once you get above 3 hits (which are cummulative from all causes of course) the end can be quick and definitive! Whittling does not begin to describe it.
