What do the different colours - white, orange, yellow -signify in the morale column of the Unit Roster? Why does the strength not change as the battles progresses? Thanks. I have checked the manual.

The colors show progressively lower fractions of morale. I don't have the exact fractions handy at the moment, but I think it's like 50% and 25% of maximum. Strength in the roster should reflect current unit strength. Is it not working that way?

Thanks Eric for the reply. I obviously misinterpreted the meaning of the strength column. Because the two figures are the same I thought it was the starting strength. If the right side figure was the number of men at the beginning and the left hand one reduced over time would make more sense to me.
