Subject: leader loss

Wow.... you're kidding....

In addition to my normal suppression from casualties, I take ANOTHER for
leader loss? I can't say as I've ever noticed that, but it could be so. Do I
also have to do a re-org to appoint a new leader? If you had to do both,
you'd sure be penalized (in addition to the confidence issues.....). Not
saying it shouldn't be bad, just that I too am a little vague (don't have my
rules handy, haven't played since GZG ECC) on this part of things.

When I saw people making comments about having Mark on their side (based off
my sig), another classic Latin line came to mind: "Et tu, Mr.Rutherford?"

It's buried in the rules. I just blundered into it two days ago when I
completely read the leader replacement rules.

No. It appears that the suppression marker represents the confusion of having
to find a new leader.

What I'm not sure about is what quality roll do you use for morale loss when a
leader dies? I think the rules for leader replacement say something like a
leader casualty is replaced "immediately", which I interpret to mean things
happen like this: casualties are inflicted, a new leader is chosen (roll for
leadership level change), roll for morale effects. Now, of course, you add
another suppression marker, too.

I haven't had it happen, but you should also keep track of the old leadership
value, just in case you roll for the leader casualty and the leader is alive
and okay.

> If you had to do both,

Nope, no need to re-org. The new leader is chosen automatically. If the
quality drops, you MAY want to re-org to see if the leader is okay.
