> Why should morale be cumulative?
Let's consider an infantry unit of 8 men under fire.

When a unit is takes casualties, it will take a test at TL 1.

The next time it takes a casualty it will take a test at TL 1.

The unit will continue to take this test (which if it is a Regular or better
unit without a terrible commander it will probably continue to pass) until we
are left with just one figure.

This grates with me. I feel that the chances of the unit's morale being eroded
should increase as it takes casualties.

Though, as ever, I am quite content to be told I am wrong.

Speaking of Black Hawk Down, I have just finished reading "In The Company Of
Heroes", which I enjoyed tremendously and would highly recomend to anyone who
hasn't read it.

I agree, which is why I created these house rules:

They work well in practice, too.
