Seen and noted. The suggested bug fix in the 1.807 discussion is generalisable to all processes where you have exponential convergence to a limit.

There are no morale problems with land units in AE, what was once a perceived problem in Witpx1 is no longer present in AE.

I guess I did not realise that morale had been addressed/revisited. That was all I was ever looking for in my original thread from last January as I felt that how morale was represented in vanilla WitP was not the way the original developers intended it to be.

Thanks for looking into it, fixing it, and giving us something to play with soon! [:D]

LCU morale affects:

movement rate
combat firepower
losses
odds of attack
willingness to enter enemy-held hexes


are you speaking about real life, assumptions about the game or knowledge about the code? Because from playing I can´t confirm what you state here, the willingness to enter enemy held hexes is definetely something that is not true. Except odds of attack all others are IMO in doubt also.

I was quoting the manual.

My father served with base logistics units on the northern New Guinea coast (Dobadura and Finschafen). He has mentioned suffering close to 50% casualties due to disease, but nothing at all on morale problems. Perhaps this could be better modeled by having a certain amount of spontaneous disabling of units in disease prone areas with supply being eaten to get them undisabled. This would mimic the need to be constantly shuttling replacements in and getting the sick out.

I wonder if he ever supplied my Gramps, because he was at both of those bases. My Gramps was an L-4 observation pilot attached to the artillery (picture below, that uniform is his Lt Col of Univ of ILL ROTC, thus the strange insignia). Was at ALOT of bases with the 41st Division.

He was sent to Dobadura in 1944 as a brand new ROTC 2nd Lt where his first command was a refrigeration unit. One of their critical duties was, as I recall, to maintain a cold case of beer per man per month. If the army could do that at a godforsaken hellhole like Dobadura in the middle of a war, they were taking morale pretty seriously. Since you mentioned beer earlier, he probably did supply your Gramps.

More likely keeping the Ice Cream frozen, or was the the USN ?
