I know the rule you are referring to, it first appeared in Crescendo of Doom. A friend (not the one I usually play with) and I discussed the problem of getting early war infantry to attack armor some time ago. No house rule came from it. Here are the working questions we decided upon:
- Should this morale check be collective or individual?
- Should the morale check be made in assault hex for the attack or prior to entering?
- Should there be modifiers for numbers of attacking units and/or for attacking from multipule hexes?
- Until what date should such morale checks be required?
My current and not well considered opinion is that it should be a collective check within each attacking hex. Morale modifiers from leaders (who don't need to check) would only apply to units stacked with that leader. The morale check would be made prior to entering the assault hex. Having 3 units attack would gain a -1 to the morale check. 1941 infantry would have a -1 modifier, 1942 a -2 modifier, no check required after 1942. Assaulting with infantry anti-tank weapons would have an additional -1 modifier.
