Well, there *could* have been more turns if folks hadn't just jumped
into 
combat. ;)  Recon can take a few turns if it's done at all.  One 
additional issue is that hidden units/sighting rules have not been 
fleshed out, so recon is still not a necessity.  Assuming that in order
to 
get a better feel for where to do a push, you sent in recon units and 
needed multiple activations for each of them, you could quickly eat up a

turn or two before sending in one or more companies to hammer the foe. 
That said, I find that in many cases recon becomes an activation or two,

if it's done at all. ;)

break, and the morale penalty was applied to the whole force (ie company
A and the HQ platoon). Is that the way we should have done it, or should
it only have applied to Co B units?

I'll let OA be definitive on this one, but my guess is that I screwed
up. 
How I intereperet this now is that you had:

HQ
Company A
Company B
Company C (or something like that)

If a unit in Company B breaks, it should immediately cause stress for
all 
of Company B, but unless Company B breaks, the other Companies and HQ 
should not be impacted.
