Details:
If you apply an [object] to a unit with an effect that should decrease the
number of swings on one of its attacks to zero or below, it decreases them to
one instead.
I believe that this behavior was implemented intentionally at a time when
either the AI or something in the Wesnoth engine couldn't handle 0-swing
attacks. If so, this is no longer the case, and there are a variety of
situations in which it makes sense to keep a 0-swing attack - for instance, I
just had to implement a workaround for The High Seas add-on's cannons, which
have swings equal to the number of units operating them (which can be zero.)
I can think of no situations where it makes conceptual sense to rely on the
current behavior.
