Triggering Moral Checks. Napoleonic vs Civil War Series

[TheGrayMouser]

I dont own any of the CW titles but am familiar enough w those games manuals, AA reports, screenies etc to take a stab:
My guess is the designers wanted to emphasize the absolute importance of command and control (ie in game terms passing down leader bonuses) for the armies that were mostly comprised of hastily raised recruits or draftees in a military system that had little "tradition" in the European sense. Also, to emphasize the frightfull power of rifled muskets , without resorting to simply increasing the weapons values (causing a-historically high casualties).

Or, the manual could simply have a typo!
