Is there any limit how much finnish morale will drop when units are below no attack line?

There is a lower morale threshold which depends on location. The manual says

"Finnish morale will drop by one each turn they are south of the no attack line if their morale is above the Finnish Morale Threshold. The
threshold is 65 if one hex over the line, and is reduced by one for each additional hex south of the line. There is also an additional cumulative
morale reduction of one point for each hex row east of hex row X100 for Finnish units."

whether the threshold is still 65(plus adjustments), or whether this has been adjusted since the manual is another question

Thanks!

I don't think the morale drops quite as quickly as the manual describes, possibly there is a check for each drop rather than automatic - am not sure.

I have to admit I get the sense that Tyronec is right - when I have gone through this the Finns always end up in perfectly good shape compared to where I thought they would be. Even if you accept the morale reduction is fixed and automatic, there are still the normal morale boosters for units under national morale etc going the other way. And there is always the possibility of rotating units in and out of Finland to get their morale to recover to national morale more quickly too. But bottom line is, compared to the horror story the manual depicts of Finns operating a long way from home, usually moving them south of the no attack line seems to be no problem whatsoever.
