 turn he immediately rallies himself.
+==== 2. RET ====
+A unit that suffers the result Retire, moves
+immediately at retire speed away from the enemy for
+one move only and ends its move facing its foe.
+Retiring units move directly away from the cause of
+their fear and where ever possible back track along
+the route they used to advance on the enemy. Any
+character with the unit will also retire.
+If this morale result is obtained in phase eleven of a
+game turn, the affected unit retires in phase one of
+the next game turn. Otherwise units that obtain this
+result retire immediately and can conduct no
+further orders that turn which involve either
+movement or firing.
+==== 3. CO ====
+A unit that achieves the result Carry On continues
+to follow its existing orders, whatever they may be. A
+routing unit that achieves this result rallies.
+==== 4. UA (UNCONTROLLED ADVANCE) ====
+A routing unit that achieves the result
+Uncontrolled Advance rallies. Any other unit that
+achieves this result, immediately charges toward
+the enemy that caused its Morale Test or the nearest
+enemy unit in front of them.
+Units that get this result in a Morale Test can not be
+given any orders until they have made their charge
+move, and if they already have orders, immediately
+discard them.
+If the unit has not yet moved in the current game
+turn, it will commence its charge in either phase
+four or six — depending on which comes first after
+the Morale Result. The charge will be completed in
+phase nine as normal.
+If the unit has already moved in the current game
+turn, then it conducts its charge in phase one of the
+next turn in the following way. First its target takes a
+Morale Test. If it fails it conducts its Rout or Retire
+immediately. Then the unit in UA moves the first half
+of its charge move. If it contacts the enemy, combat
+occurs and must be resolved in phase ten. If it fails to
+contact the target, the target may then take a
+Reaction Test to see if it can react to this unexpected
+danger. If it can and wishes to do so, it does so
+immediately but at the cost of forfeiting all other
+movement and firing for the rest of that turn. The
+unit in Uncontrolled Advance then makes the final
+half of its charge move. If it contacts its target,
+combat will occur in phase ten of the turn.
+===== EXEMPTIONS FROM THE NEED TO TAKE MORALE TESTS =====
+Characters never have to take Morale Tests. Which
+is one of the reasons why they are such renowned
+heroes, infamous thieves, inspiring priests, dread
+wizards, or feared Discipline Masters.
+Skeletons never take Morale Tests because they
+have no minds of their own to exercise, instead they
+are completely controlled by another being.
+However, if their controller is wounded or killed,
+then the skeletons will immediately disappear back
+to the shadowlands from whence they came and are
+removed from play.
+Some magic spells, miracles, curses or wonders,
+may temporarily exempt a unit or monster from
+taking Morale Tests.
