I'm not sure I like the idea of a unit going from Confident to Broken in
one
test.

My house rules are on my own web site:

http://www.vex.net/~agoodall/sg2.htm

My rules change the conditions of one morale check and add one
additional
condition for checking morale. It works well.

Essentially we've come to the same conclusion. Our answers to it are
different, but we have filled the gap in the SG2 morale system.

What's missing, though, is morale for higher echelons on the tabletop.
There
are no rules for a platoon in SG2 or a company in DS2 losing morale
based on
individual units breaking. Historically, smaller units routing can
result in a
cascade of other units running. An extreme situation is the routing of
the
Union XI Corps at Chancellorsville. It was a cascade of morale that
caused the
corps to run. Again, an extreme example, but not something that can be
done in
SG2.
