Hi Ray I think you misundertood what I was meaning. I was only trying to show why there are two morale systems. If a Cavalry unit was in fact depicted on the table the same as infantry (ie as a unit of 600-800 men or 18 figures) then you could use the same morale system. I find fighting with cavalry...
Hi It is strange for a set of rules to have two morale systems. I think the reason why is that of the different unit sizes. infantry are in battalion sized units while cavalry are only in squadrons.

Hi Apart from retire(from shooting) all the results are the same for cavalry. It all stems from the rules having two morale systems for two different sized tactical units. I personally think they work ok but if you like to tinker then you could use 12- 18 figures in a cavalry unit and call it a regi...
Hi You`re right, however we play the rule as in the infantry morale section ( Pg 23). I think it`s a common sense solution and works just fine. If the cavalry fail the morale test for seeing friendly infantry rout within 12" they also rout. Remember the right to left rule for testing morale though. ...
