Thoughts on Disruption/Broken Recovery - Revisitied

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

After fully digesting the math and probability of disruption recovery, I've come to the conclusion that the biggest factor that determines how likely a unit will recover is really it's moral state... sure the distance a unit is from it's HQ is a factor, but moral, mathematically has a bigger impact on the outcome. (see discussion from my previous thread here:  https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards...?tid=75750)

As I understand it, fatigue and low ammo/fuel are factors that can degrade moral and for the sake of the disruption recovery calculation, being 'detached' is another degrading factor.  There may be more that I'm not aware of and it would be great if anyone can add to the list with specifics.

All that being said, I'm curious as to some tactics and ideas other people use to manage the moral state of their units and what is the best way to improve that moral state once it's been degraded? 

I tend to push my units to the brink... I usually commit them to the fight even if they are disrupted, low ammo/fuel... but only to the point that they are about to take on orange level fatigue.  When they get close to that point, I will usually pull them back.  I figure with all the time it takes to get a unit positioned to engage, with consideration of terrain, digging in and stacking limits, it's better to keep the pressure up for as long as you can with any particular unit. 

Other thoughts?

Being detached only degrades morale (not 'moral') in the First World War series, not in Panzer Campaigns, so in those titles staying in command range matters more. (In Panzer Campaigns it still affects things such as replacements and artillery spotting effectiveness.)

As for tactics, try to get your low ammo/fuel units resupplied ASAP, which is dependent on range from their HQ. Also, rest your units when you get a chance, as recovery speed is also dependent on their morale at the time.

"Being detached only degrades morale (not 'moral')".... haha good catch!  But I'll bet in real life being detached led to bad morals for individual soldiers.

In real life, being detached only a concern to officers.  Rank and File soldiers are only concerned with their own company and a buddy or two in other companies.  Being detached was no big deal.
