[Embarrassed cough] Actually, vfb, I thought I was responding to somebody's post saying that limping hurts morale, but I guess I imagined it. Limping is not as nice as having an undamaged unit, obviously; I just don't see a need to try to kill limping units off. (I'd call a limping unit somewhere between 80% and 90% as effective as an unafflicted unit.) Larger squads are better (for morale purposes, not necessarily vs. arty mages) so I also wouldn't split limpers out just to keep my lines straight.

Are you still joking around about affliction squads, or have you transitioned to making serious points? It's hard to recognize irony on the Internet.

Ironhawk, I guess you might also care about afflictions if you don't have enough leaders to move your whole army, and you want to pick the creme de la creme and leave the chaffiest at home. (Don't forget that 'E' on the army setup screen selects units with 2 or more starts, 'W' selects those with afflictions, and 'S' picks out those that are starving.)
