Divisional/Brigade morale

Message par Mark63 » mer. 25 juin 2025 12:35

I'm fairly new to this system and quite enjoy it. I am using the rules for the Revolutionary Wars as I think they cover this period better than most sets of Napoleonic rules. However, I have noticed that there is no divisional or brigade level morale. As far as I can see, units only take morale tests after fire combat and suffer other detriments to their morale from shock combat but there is only an over all break point for an army, not a division or a corps.
Am I missing something or is this deliberate?

As on the Facebook discussion, you are correct.
The question is whether divisions broke historically.
In units tend to degrade and then end up on retreat to avoid further losses, which seems about right.

Yes an army breaks not individual divisions, the system seems to work well as typical armies only have between 10 and 15 units. However what is important is objectives and give the game some focus so if an army doesn't break you can still get a crushing defeat if you've just sat at the back and waited for the opposition who has hoovered up all the objectives.
