Optional rule 17.1 Consolidation

[campsawyer]

Have not ever played anybody that uses this rule.

Vince, years ago I did but stopped because of the power it gives reduced morale units. As we have discussed so time back, it's main advantage its to raise the morale of disrupted and demoralized troops before they recover.

As the rules states, the units must be of the same morale status to combine. So you cannot combined a good order reduced and disrupted reduce units. But two disrupted units can and raise there morale back up for a subsequent morale recovery on the next turn. Also, because demoralized units can do this, this is also a way to avoid taking morale checks for both of those units in the turn as it consumes a activation. So it give move options to reduced morale units.
