Quite correct.

I'll try to explain what I do know.

1) Sometimes a unit is called to make a morale check. How is that check (2D6 + unit morale must be higher than something ?)

2) When a unit is called to make a morale check ? When it is wounded ? when a unit in the same squad is wounded ? When anothe squad in teh battlefield start to rout ?

3) How is computed the morale of a squad ? When the squad start to route ?

4) Has the leader morale/leadership some influence ?

1) Most often: 2d6 + mrl - mrlloss) vs (2d6 + 10) IIRC

2) When wounded, when a squad member dies, when hit by fear inducing weapons, spells and fear auras, when repelled (but this will not induce mrlloss IIRC). Perhaps when other squads rout. Not sure about that one.

3) When the sum of the mrl loss is higher then the squad size (or something like that) and fails a squad mrl check (average mrl of squad members + some kind of bonus for squad size).

4) Standards reduces mrl losses in an arewa equal to the standard effect. Leadership has no effect.
