You could drop it down to a +1 bonus, but that's still significant.2- The troops at the "rear" of a unit aren't really flanked, on an individual level, by the troops on the other side of the unit.Two suggestions. The first one would be to just give a +1 bonus. The second suggestion would be to have an attack against the rear of the unit automatically force a Morale check. I like option #2 better.I believe you can handle that one yourself.Seems reasonable to me, and a nice addition for charismatic heroes. Just keep in mind that a hero with a unit is already improving their Morale by making it easier for them to make the check in the first place.Most of the Heroic Actions require some trade-off from the hero. It's hard to say what the trade-off might be in this case, but let's see... Maybe spend an action point and make a Command check, and if the check succeeds, the unit's Morale improves by one step. (That solution is no help to non-action point campaigners, however...)Wulf</blockquote>
