OK, so I decided to test it. Made a small scenario in SPWW2 where I bought a British platoon and attacked 4 German MMG groups. I put all squads but one+HQ outside of the map, game length 5 turns, saved the scenario and started it. Obviously the lone squad was cut to shreds, lost 8 men and dispersed. In the final screen total losses for the British side were 10 men, thus the two guys that were not immediate casualties were counted into the final tally (plus the full score for the lost squad, indeed 23 points).
Job's done, question answered. Thank you guys for the answers btw
