Great comment, I have noted among historians and others in recent years that anytime an historian starts to recount history they should open with “as best we can tell now from the sources available to us, this is what we think happened....” and numbering myself among the mathematically challenged I feel your pain.
Alas, I have no such excuse. I am unnaturally fond of calculating all sorts of things, especially where military things are concerned. I am also - as my kith and kin remind me whenever they need help moving house - a former logistician.
