In addition, the "number of involved troops" [in a war] is very misleading since it adds the total amount involved in each battle meaning that if two countries go to war with 10 000 troops each and have 2 engagements where they suffer no losses (unlikely, but bear with me) the stats will show troop strength as 20 000 per side rather than 10 000.

Yes there is no way to recover historical data to see how many unique men were fielded. Is there a better name for this statistic?
