Re: [FT] Ship morale

Actually, My group uses "strike the colors" as well, but we play that a
ship
that has blown her morale check, must make all possible attempts to
disengage.  Every turn untill the ship leaves the table, I may make
additional check aginst the captains morale to attempt to re-enter the
action.
