Small units as target priority

[krmiller]

No advantage in shooting at smaller units in the ACW games.
Morale checks are made only if probability result = Loss/Loss+25,
Morale check itself is based on class, possibly modified by such things as
Fatigue Level
Disruption
Low/Out of Ammo
Enfiladed fire
Presence of officer
If you are using the Density Fire Modifier then the number of men IN THE HEX can increase your fire effect.
This rule takes effect above 2/3 stacking so with normal 1000 men per hex stacking,
if one hex has 600 men and another has 700 men you're better off shooting at the alrger stack regardless of which unit you target.

I believe unit strength does play a role in morale checks in the Nappy games but I'm not as familiar with those.

I have modified this post twice because it was double spacing the lines.
