A unit's morale is a measure of how brave its soldiers are. Each race has three morale classes, which have various names, but are all rated A, B, and C on the Profile Sheets. For instance, dwarfs have A: Guards, B: Regulars and C: Militia; while western orcs have A: Urucks, B: Soldiers and C: Snargas. Characters are immune to all Morale Tests.

'A' class troops are experienced, highly trained veterans who obey orders and do not easily panic. 'B' class troops are trained regulars with combat experience. 'C class troops represent conscripts, militia and other poorly trained troops, who do not react well to orders and are prone to panic as soon as they come under pressure.

Before the start of a battle, each unit in your army must be assigned a morale class. Each units morale class must be recorded before a battle commences. You should also note down each unit's starting figure strength. If you are playing a scenario provided in a FOLIO WORKS publication or RED GIANT magazine, you will find the morale class and figure strength of each unit in the scenario will be listed for you. If you are fighting one of your own battles, having made up an army using the points system and basic army guide provided in these rules, you will have assigned each unit a morale value.

When you place your units on the battlefield, they can be identified from your record of each unit's morale class, by the banners you give them or their equipment.

As a unit suffers casualties its morale will decline. This fact is reflected in the Basic Morale Values Chart that appears on each Profile Sheet. Unit losses on this chart are calculated as a percentage of a regiment's starting manpower. You will note they are calculated in 10% steps. When using this chart always round a unit's losses down to the nearest 10%.

Example: A regiment of twenty western goblin raiders has suffered three casualties. This is greater than a 10% loss but less than a 20% loss. As all percentage losses are rounded down on the Basic Morale Values Chart, the goblins are deemed to have a 10% loss and by cross referencing find their morale has a base value of 8.
