Default Re: Battle Afflicted Troops?

The morale system per squad and per battle, Ironpaw.

Per squad, morale is checked whenever a fellow squadmate is wounded or killed. And if more than half (i think?) of the squad fails morale checks, then the squad will rout.

Per battle morale works like so:
1) If all commanders are routed or killed, all squads rout
2) If all squads are routed or killed, all commanders rout
3) If your army consists of only commanders, the first friendly casualty will cause the rest to rout.

Rules 2 and 3 are very important to remember when using SCs or solo mages.

As for what I do with my wounded, I'm actually pretty lenient. The only wound that *really* concerns me is Battle Fright because that compromises the effectiveness of the squad. Those men are used as Lance Cushions like Bummer describes. Additionally, if I am facing an Assassinating opponent I will sometimes use Limp and Crippled units as bodyguards for my non-critical commanders
