Still learning after all these years...

I've heard a few less-experienced players say on forums that when recovering as an activation, they had not realised that they had to roll 1 LESS than the current morale level.

This is one of the elegant rules. By rolling less than there more it give them that little tougher chance and magnify how a +1 morale leader works.

If I can just get that that +1 for my son, I would be all set.
