We were apparently typing the same idea at the same time.ORIGINAL: Erik RutinsYep, that's the point I was trying to make too - which is why to some degree I think the morale system covers this pretty well. You don't know if a platoon will stay or flee, but you're much more likely to find out once they start taking casualties. Until then, they'll tend to try to follow orders based on the AARs I've read anyway.ORIGINAL: Mobius
But unexperience is not a one way street. The rookie may not know what to expect and stick in place when he shouldn't. In the Mcensk battles the BT-7 faced PZ3 in a hopeless match and none retreared in any of the battles.
At first PaK 35/36 faced KVs and T34s until the word spread that they were worthless against them After that the Germans became aware that their PaK gunner would abandon their guns when a KV or T34 charged them.
You can find example of foolish or brave acts done by the experienced or the rookie. I don't like the idea of knowing how they will act based on that level. I think the way it affect morale is a better way of handling it after the fact.
I don't like the idea of tailoring the move of a unit based on its veteran status. I think this takes too much out of the FOW.
