Greetings Greg:

A fort affords two separate bonuses.
1) Hit Points.
2) Combat.

Troops with bonuses in odd numbered rounds retain those bonuses in
even numbered rounds. Troops are only lost after the conclusion of
an even numbered round.

Once you have lost your first 10 troops (per your example below)
there will no longer be any Hit Point Bonus given but, 10 new troops
will gain the Combat Bonus in subsequent rounds. Until all your
troops are killed, there are 10 "combat bonus" positions available.

Barracks Space gets the

Is that correct?
