Re: [SG2] detached element questions

Advanced Squad Leader had rules for the spontaneous generation of a 
leader after a critical success on a morale test. They're trying to 
simulate the same events that really happen in good infantry units. I 
don't play SG2 myself, so I can't speak as to mechanics, but having a 
table to roll on when a unit does really well on a morale check (however

that gets defined, in ASL it was pretty much rolling double sixes and 
then rolling 10-12 on 2d6.  Let that be your guide.

stupidity, but madness in us not to preserve them.
