Default Re: Set Battle Orders : More Options

It would be nice if there was something related to morale that could model squad cohesiveness. I know in a rout, units are just turning and fleeing, thus the -4 defense bonus, but I think a high morale squad (or potentially a low one with good rolls) should stay under the command of its commander.

It would model fear effects nicely since a lot of units exposed to fear would lower the morale of the squad.
