        Morale is a sort of anti-victory point. By that I mean that you are aiming
to reduce what the enemy starts out with while guarding your own. To my way
of thinking this is more flexible than a VP system, because you don't
really need to use any kind of objective at all, other than just wading
into the enemy. Or, you can make as complicated a morale modifying system
as you want, depending on the scenario.
