I'm pretty=
sure you're incorrect here. My understanding is: when a
detachment is redu=
ced to half strength (in terms of number of units) the
entire army loses th=
at detachment's morale value. I.e., if a detach. is
worth 3 Morale, taking =
it to half strength costs it's army 3 Morale.

I agree. I believ=
e the rule is suppose to be once a detachment has suffered enough casualtie=
s to bring it to half strength, the total morale value for that detachment =
is deducted from the army total. Which brings to mind a question; if I kee=
p just over half of the units in a detachment on the "back line" and move t=
he rest of the detachment, including the HQ, to engage the enemy (moving th=
em beyond command range of the slackers in the back), what happens when the=
"front row" gets wiped out. Example: ork warboss in stompa w/ 3 stompas a=
nd 5 gretchin make up a detachment. The gretchin hide in the back while th=
e stompas go on march orders. by round 2, the gretchin are out of command=
range. The stompas then go on assault, engage a warlord titan, and make a=
nice addition to the titan's rubble claws on his feet (all the stompas and=
warlord get squished). do the gretchin still count as being part of that =
detachment so the orks don't lose any morale? if not, what happens to the =
gretchin? (besides just being kicked around for the fun of it).
