Considering that the pigeons had such a high successful delivery rate, I think it's safe to assume they indeed had a lower casualty rate. That's a pretty depressing thought...

While reading through the Guns of August I am on the Ost front again and that whole thing is just incompetence everywhere.

"How about we have men go out in boats, and when they see a parascope, one throws a bag over it while the other hammers it as hard as they can?" "I say we send Britain's finest swimmers with sharp hammers to wale away at the u-boats and send them to the depths" "Why don't we use our birds and sea lions? More specifically, train them to chase parascopes and identify U-boats!" "SHIT ON THE PARASCOPES!! Train seagulls to shit on the parascopes and force them to surface!" *"LET'S JUST FUCKING PAINT THE OCEAN!!!* JUST ALL OF IT! SO WHEN THE PARASCOPE COMES UP IT'S BLINDED BY THE PAINT!!" This is probably the most unhinged conversation I've heard in a long time and I am loving it!
