A question came up in the Dirtside Game hosted by Tony and her friend from
Florida. In the context of the 50% Casualties Confidence Check, does one take
that every turn regardless of additional casualties or only when you continue
to take casualties. ie, a platoon of 4 looses 2 elements
in turn A, thus a +2 Check. Then in Turn B takes
none (+2 check or no?), then in turn C takes
another single casualty (this a +2 check) being
75% casualties.
Hey Ryan! Where at DC were you? I know, not the answer you wanted but I was
curious. I was at the Battletech tables Saturday next to that Quickfire2
table ran by those guys in the gaudy Hawiian shirts

Ryan,
In most rules systems, and I'd be betting that DSII is included, you only
take the confidence/morale check on a turn in which you actually suffer
casualties. Thus, if on turn 2 you lose 50%, there is an immediate Confidence
Test. If the unit passes, they are able to tolerate the loss of 50% of the
unit and will continue to function. If on turn 3, they suffer no further
losses, they do not take a Confidence Test. If on turn 4, they suffer another
loss, then they take another test having lost 75% of the unit.
So, in direct response to your question below, "NO".

I played at the Dirtside table at 9am on Saturday and we did a pickup game of
Stargrunt saturday night from about 10 to midnight.
Saturay night I had a black T-shirt on and a
Green/Blue Kilt on. I also drove my armored car
up there on Saturday afternoon and had it sitting in the drop off area in
front of the Mariott.
Part of the day I had DPM/'58 patt kit on with an
SA80.
So, you were trying to blend into the crowd:)

Well Ryan I saw ya then. I loved the armored car too. I guess if I had paid
alittle more attention to the boards I would have known you were there. And
speaking of kilts, you werent running around witha few other guys in kilts too
were ya ? I saw some gentlemen around noon-time over in the food courts
in kilts.
