Re: Morale and Breakpoint for Companies, Detachments, etc.

The breaking point of a company is figured separately from any support cards. If a company breaks the support detachments don't break and if a support card breaks, it has no affect on the company.

As for the company itself, the breaking point is determined by the company as a whole, not on an individual detachment basis. So, in your example, if one detachment sustains heavy losses, as long as the company as a whole has not reached the breaking point, the detachment is not broken and your opponent receives no victory points.

Hope that helps,

Tim

If the company subsequently breaks, do you get the victory points for the individual detachments you broke and the points for breaking the company? What happens to support cards that are fine? If the company breaks that they are supporting, are they also broken? I would really like to see a rewrite of this section of rules to clarify what actually happens.
