Kharkov 43 Manstein strikes back Alt

[Dog Soldier]

James,
I agree manipulating the fatigue and thus the morale levels is valid to achieve an effect for the start of a scenario as described in this thread. True, this method does have limits. Your previous comment seemed to be referring to physical condition of the troops. I wanted to point out that fatigue and morale is more than that.

A commonly asked question I get is why would a unit disrupt when only one casualty or fatigue only is inflicted. My interpretation is a that a key officer bought it or was pinned. The result is the troops lost cohesion in terms of achieving their goal, take a position, lay suppressing fire etc.

Even units with high morale (B) and low fatigue have this happen and it is always at the wrong time.

Troops at A morale level are immune from disruption because and NCO or other soldier will quickly take charge if the leader is felled.
