Although a game (any rule set that is) can sometimes get bogged down in
Morale checks, the more sever results of a check can benefit the game.
The
maximum Two CL drops in any one Confidence check in SGII is a good
measure
that a unit won't go from an Elite pumped gang of pscho killers to a
quivering spineless gaggle of cowards on one role of the dice.....i
think
that was honestly most irked me in WRG's 7th Ed ancients; seeing my
Aztec
Irreg A Otomi see a unit of scumbag peasants break and suddenly fail a
test
and become shaken, then see a second lot of peasants break and then they
routed!

Back on track though, we've been playing what we call the 'Rule of worst
consequence' which basically provides for no requirement for an umpire
or
referee to decide outcomes of discussions; essentially if there is a
bone of
contention then whoever is being fired at, checking for morale etc takes
the
worst outcome! "Is this squad being fired at in cover/LOS?" Sadly YES!!
Works really well as it speeds games along. Most firefights are lost not
because someone is doing something really good but more to the point
that
someone stuffed up!

I'm loath to suggest Jon produce a sheet of ammendments; rather a FAQ2
would
likely be quite welcome at this point.
