Failed morale tests accumulate as counters until the unit routs.
Each failed test places a morale counter. Foot rout and are removed on their 4th failure; horse, dragoons and artillery on their 2nd.
Units rout and are removed when they fail multiple morale tests: Foot 4, Horse (including Dragoons) and Artillery 2.
Wounds, fatigue and mishaps shrink the action dice pool temporarily or permanently.
Forfeited dice sit on the sheet until recovered by spending a LAUREL Die; Surrendered dice are lost for the match. A gladiator surrenders a die when Fatigued and each time he reaches another 3 total wounds (Hurt); limb Slow Kills and wall collisions forfeit a die. Losing all dice concedes the match.
Surrendered Dice are permanently lost for the remainder of the match and cannot be recovered.
Shorter replacement blocks show half-battalions reduced by 1/6 and 2/6.
A half-battalion losing 1/6 swaps its block for the longer replacement block, 2/6 for the shorter, and at 3/6 is removed. The same blocks show infantry dissolved into extra skirmisher strips, which are returned when the skirmishers are drawn in. Losses are spread across engaged battalions.
Die erstern kürzer als die gewöhnlichen Infanterie-Steine (Fig. 3.) werden gebraucht um auszudrücken, daſs die geschlossene Masse des Bataillons um 1/6 die andern (Fig. 4.) dals sie um 2/ schwächer geworden sei.
Results build up step by step: a repeat (S) becomes D, and a second D eliminates the stand.
'S' suppresses (more S results have no effect). '(S)' suppresses, or counts as a D if the target is already Suppressed. 'D' disorganizes, or eliminates a stand that is already Disorganized. 'E' eliminates. Destroyed armoured vehicles leave wreck markers that act as terrain.
If the target is not suppressed it becomes Suppressed as above. If the target stand is already Suppressed, treat this result as a “D.”
Damage thresholds cut a ship's firepower to one-half and then one-quarter.
At 30% of fighting endurance received a ship's offensive power is halved; at 60% it is quartered. Single and double rings (or punched cardboard squares) are placed on the ship's mast to remind measurers to divide wand values by two or four; a purple marker shows a torpedoed ship.
A ship having received a number of points equal to 30 per cent of her total fighting endurance, her offensive power is reduced to one-half
Units lose combat effectiveness points and are removed at zero.
Results take away CE points (or in a lopsided close action add 1 to the winner); a unit reaching zero CE is removed with no individual figure casualties.
If you go to zero combat effectiveness, the unit is removed from the table (no individual casting casualties are removed).
One hit suppresses a base and two hits remove it.
A single hit marks a base Suppressed; it can still move and fight. Two hits remove the base, which may later be restored by a Reorganize operation or evacuated for VP.
One hit is a suppression, two hits is a casualty. Remove the base from play (it could be restored through reorganization later).
