We had a couple of occassions at the Derby game at the weekend where both sides, engaged in a hot exchange of musketry, were praying to fail their upcoming morale check... but just a wee bit You're effectively dying to get that single result out of 6, whatever the modifiers, that lets the front Battalion retreat and unmask a 2nd fresh Battalion. If they die in place, it's a morale bomb. If they rout, it's a morale bomb. If they retreat, it's all good.
Would you ever consider allowing a retreat order? Or even allowing the choice of morale results betwen Shaken and Retreat?
I understand that the drill of the day wouldn't allow a controlled retreat in the manner we understand, but there comes a time when a Battalion has done it's job and leaving it in place is just madness.
