NO MORALE FOR ALAMO DEFENDERS FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN
MEXICAN MORALE
Morale is taken at the beginning of a move.
You can only take 1 Morale Test per move.
When morale is taken : losing 1 figure
Each figure in a Company gets 1xD3 dice for morale
Example 1 Mexican Line company has 5 figures so 5xD3 dice. When 1 figure
is killed throw 4 x D3 as pluses and throw 1x D3 as minus if the scores
are even or minus the unit retreats off the battlefield
Example : 1 Mexican Company loses 2 figures to firing so next move the
Mexican Company at the beginning of its move throws 3xD3 as pluses and
2xD3 as minus The Pluses score 3 1 2 giving a total of 6 The Minus
score is 2 1 giving a total of 3 so the Mexican Company carries on as normal.
A Officer can add his 1xD3 to the Company if in base to base contact but if
the Company fails its Morale the Company retreats off the battlefield, all units
double their movement in retreat.
