Morale is divided into 4 stages with the chance to rally at each stage. New players should be able to conduct their own transactions by the third move. These are combat rules that reflect the tactics and technologies of their era. Decisions are made by players, not cards or dice. These rules can be used for nearly any scale of the figure. They are great for large or small battles.
