RE: Blackcloud's PG Lament
So I had a thought----
and Peter added wood to the burgeoning bonfire....
In jungles (apparently as I don't have those rules ....yet...) Commanders can only influence morale if they are stacked in the same hexes as the
units they are attempting to influence(for MC or Rally attempts). Makes sense---200yrds of jungle would mitigate the influence me thinks....
I would postulate that perhaps City/Towns--and possibly even forests would have the same impact.
This would mean that sticking a strong commander in center of that 7 hex city (or any such) out of harms way would no longer
provide the invulnerability to those guys 200yrds away in front line buildings taking fire....
Thus the difficulty in reducing such bastions would be reduced to some extent---if you want to hold it--your commanders have
to get into the front line to influence the troops(and take damage possibly).....or stay back(safely) and rally those who flee into your hex.
I think this would work well within the mechanic, and help to address the problem....Difficulty in communicating through obstructing
terrain seems to make sense in influencing instantaneous morale decisions of troops under fire.
Activations would work the same---you can still issue orders---you just can't suddenly chide them back from the brink of MC failure
from 200yrds away
So---what think you players and Lamenters?
