Quote:The question of morale has come up in our little battles, to wit: "All units of attacking side have higher morale than defending units." My understanding of "morale" is the level of morale in the unit (i.e. Is it Disrupted/Demoralized or no.) I have an opponent who seems to take it as the SIDE with the higher initiative gets the +1. I have been playing it as ALL units must be demoralized on the defending side to qualify for the +1. (Perhaps "Disrupted" units should be counted also?) (Morale being morale and not initiative.)
I believe you're both incorrect. I play it as the side with the higher morale per the scenario instructions. For example, Germans have 8/7 morale while the French have 7/6. If no German units have suffered a step loss, it's 8 to 7/6 and the Germans get the +1 bonus.
Quote:On another question: The admonition that "Side includes undemoralized friendly leader and at least one non-AFV unit." for a +1 comes into question. Does that admonition mean consideration given to BOTH sides for the consideration or just the assaulting side?
From the 4th Ed Assault chart:
Quote:All are cumulative and may sometimes apply to both sides.
It would be more clear if it was worded "both sides unless specifically noted otherwise." For example:
Quote:—2 Against defending units occupying town, entrenchment, or cave (vs. entrenchment
in town, still only -2).
applies to only the assaulting unit.
