Subject: Allan Goodall's House Rules

Took a peek at Allan's web site (http://www.interlog.com/~agoodall/) and
his house rules for Morale.

Its a neat rule change, Allan, but I felt I should point out one
clarification. You refer to Reaction Tests. You are in fact talking about
Confidence Tests, not Reaction Tests. There are only 4 occasions when a squad
needs to test reaction:
- Going into position in open
- Going into position in cover
-Moving without removing IP marker
- Shaken unit attempting to leave cover

I suggest you change all references to "Reaction" to "Confidence" - then
it makes sense.

Incidentally, you have made the same mistake in the Overwatch rule, where you
refer to the "abandoned casualty" modifier. Its a Confidence Test modifier.

OTOH, you suggest using a Reaction Test in the Ambush rules to see if the
ambush is launched prematurely - quite right, that should be a Reaction
Test.

Maybe it would have been clearer if Jon had called it a Morale Test, rather
than a Confidence Test. Oh well...

This may seem a bit picky, but may avoid confusion when others refer to your
house rules.

Hope that helps

D'oh!!!

I'll correct those, probably after I get back from New Orleans (but maybe
before...). I have MUCH better wording for the Overwatch rules, and I've
streamlined them too. Those on my site need to be updated. Time to look for
the updates!

And they have been updated. I changed the wording on the Overwatch rules (so
that they are MUCH easier to understand, and more streamlined) and fixed the
wording of the Morale Modifications.
