The problem is that "morale" in NetEpic != "morale" in RealLife(TM). In NetEpic it represents training, discipline, initiative and just plain guts. The morale check represents whether those about to be overrun have enough discipline/training/guts to decide what to do or do they just stand at the path of the charging steel monster.

It's not purely a matter of initiative.

Depends how many overruns are going to take place. Are there going to be that many?

Sure, whatever suits you. _I_ don't want to deal with some arbitrary number snatched out of thin air to represent overrun.
