Re: Post Dragon Con questions

Ryan,

In most rules systems, and I'd be betting that DSII is included, you
only 
take the confidence/morale check on a turn in which you actually suffer 
casualties.  Thus, if on turn 2 you lose 50%, there is an immediate 
Confidence Test.  If the unit passes, they are able to tolerate the loss
of 
50% of the unit and will continue to function.	If on turn 3, they
suffer 
no further losses, they do not take a Confidence Test.	If on turn 4,
they 
suffer another loss, then they take another test having lost 75% of the 
unit.

So, in direct response to your question below, "NO".
