Subject: [DS] Morale question
Hi, I found this on a DS2 Q&A web page: Q: Do you have to take the +2 Confidence test for taking 50% casualties only once when you cross the 50% threshold, or for every casualty taken after the 50% point? A: From Mike Elliot: P23. states that: "A CONFIDENCE TEST should be taken when any of the following apply:". Since the "50% casualties or more in the battle so far is a persistent condition, then a unit to which this applies must take a CL test on every activation. The effect of this is that while suffering 50% losses is not immediately critical, it will not be very long before the unit has had enough - unless you keep rolling good dice! If you read carefully the answer, it look like a unit with 50% or more casualities must do a confidence test on EVERY activation, even if it's not under fire? I think that most people found the DS2 morale too forgiving but with the above answer, it seems to be not the case. Any opinion on this?
