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.)
No. In this case it is the morale value of the units involved, leader and/or terrain morale modifiers are not considered. So, if all the units on a side have a morale of 8 are fighting a side with units of a morale of 7 (or less), the side units with a morale of 8 would get a +1.
Quote:I have an opponent who seems to take it as the SIDE with the higher initiative gets the +1.
No.
Quote: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.)
That is a separate modifier from the one in the first question. If all units of a side are demoralized, the other side would get a plus +1. Note that this would always be given to the attacking side as demoralized units may only defend or attempt to rally.
For example: If both sides have a morale of 8 for their units, side A's units are all demoralized (thus making them 7s), if side B attacks they would get a +1 for higher morale and +1 for all enemy units being demoralized (net +2).
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?
This would be for both sides.
Consider this weirdness: 2 German INF in a hex, normal moral of 8, but are demoralized, thus morale of 7. They are attacked by Soviet militia infantry, morale of 6. The Germans would get a +1 for all units having superior moral. The Soviets would a +1 for all enemy units being demoralized.
