Mook group challenge track (rough draft, off the cuff)

0 Battered Group is hurt, but no one's down

1 Light Casualty A single member of the group drops or is injured
in some critical fashion, requiring them to rework
their coordination: -1 to their next roll.

2-4 Casualty The group loses a small, but significant, portion
of their force. -1 to rolls for the rest of the
fight, or until reinforcements arrive.

5-6 Heavy Casualty Much of the group is injured or down. -1 to
rolls for the rest of the fight; each box
checked is cumulative.

7+ Decimation All members of the group are routed, injured
and unable to fight, or killed. Group cannot
continue to affect combat.

I like having my cumulatives add up to -4, so I'd probably
just stick with two boxes per level (other than
Decimation, which only gets one), but I could also see
going for 1/1/1/3/1 instead, on the idea that the smaller
casualties can stack up quicker.
