My understanding of the rules is that you take the Morale hit when a
detachment goes to "half starting Strength or less." Thus you don't go to
1/2 or less when you lose one of three, but you do go to 1/2 or less when
you lose two out of three.
In short you'll need to take out an extra unit in odd numbered
detachments to get below half strength. If I have 7 units in a det.
taking out three and leaving four is not half or over is it? :)
