Rather than re-working labels. A shortcut if you will. Take a 15 stand unit,
detach 3 stands and the label still is 15/11/8. 12 stands get to maneuver and
the 3 stands are locked into the building.

why would detachements count as losses till reattached?

What are your thoughts on detachments? Reading Arnold's Crisis on the Danube and
re-thinking Waterloo, made me wonder about this. It seems that the Austrians
liked to penny packet detachments of roughly a battalion (2-3 stands) especially
in villages on their flanks. An idea I have is that a player can remove 2-3
stands from a brigade at the beginning of the game to declare a building (single
model) defended. This model would then defend as a unit with an additional +1 to
the cover type (loop holed, prepared defenses).

If the player retains the building at the end of the battle these stands do not
count toward losses as they re-join their brigade. Until then the Brigade is
treated as having lost the stands. Obviously, large brigades can do this with
less detrimental effects.
