I'm listening...  :-)

For spread effect, probably best to refer back to the many posts about
this
over the last couple of weeks, and pick whatever idea sounds best to
you!
We haven't yet decided which way to go on this.

Morale is also sonething that still needs a lot of work. If your "force"
consists of what is basically one small unit (eg: a squad of 6 or 8
troopers), then you could apply a modified version of the SGII mechanism
to
your entire force - as nasty things happen to the individual figures and
the overall situation, so the morale/confidence of the whole squad
decreases until one side or the other breaks and runs. Just random ideas
at
this stage; let me know if you come up with something particularly good!
