Overland Campaign officer casualties are ridiculously high

[Wright29]

I know these were historically incredibly bloody battles, but I feel the officer casualty rate has been stepped up for these scenarios. Before Cold Harbor, I have on Easy 8 wounded officer and 2 KIA, Normal 10 with another 4 KIA, Hard 8 with 3 KIA but haven't done Laurel Hill, and Legendary I've only done Mansfield but that was 3 WIA and 1 KIA. 

Combined with getting no reputation generals available due to the bug and relatively poor draws of Barracks generals, it's been pretty brutal. 

Has anybody else had this problem?

Here's a screen shot I took of Laurel Hill wounded and killed. All I did was sit there and defend.

it may not be too high.  In a crazy big battle balls are flying everywhere.  Generals and officers in general were notorious for being out in the midst of the action rallying thier troops, be it on a defense or not.  they could get shot like that

I rather think officer casualties are a reflection of battlefield casualties. The higher the casualties, the higher the officer count. 

So, when you get into the abattoir of Cold Harbor, some guys are going to die. Lots of them. More than I care to count. There is a reason that name sent a shiver of fear down the Union spine every time it was mentioned.

To be honest the reputation generals bug sucks big time as well, I don't want to have to restart a campaign...
