It takes away from the fun rather than adds to it.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-44983040845633045162021-04-29T19:04:59.861-04:002021-04-29T19:04:59.861-04:00If it was only so simple - it's a video game, ...If it was only so simple - it's a video game, I can't implement that . . .

Assign morale dice to each unit, D4 to D12. You can base that on mission parameters, unit experience/skill, etc... His morale is 0 to start. Add one and roll the die each time one of the following conditions happens; Lose all armor on a location, take an internal critical, take a pilot hit, etc... Adjust/add to get the feel you want. If the die roll comes up less than morale unit must pull back. If the die roll is 1/2 or less of morale number unit turns and flees. Has worked well for us in the past and only adds 2 numbers that are easily tracked.<br />Chuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271954550668424885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-38077717934158587162021-04-29T16:07:21.450-04:002021-04-29T16:07:21.450-04:00They're just like the mobs in every RPG; just ...They're just like the mobs in every RPG; just there for the players to have fun killing, unless they are there to serve a special purpose.
