    Hi,

    In my gaming group(we are all pretty new to bolt action) we have an differant point of view regarding how to calculate moral.

    Example:

    Regular:9

    Pin:-3

    Company commander:+4

    So we were told to calculate it in the following way: 9-3+4=10 morale

    Some of our player argues that we should calculate the bonus first and then subtract the pin.

    Example:

    Regular:9

    Pin:-4

    Company comander:+4

    So thet calculate it like this:9+4=13 but 11 is the morale cap

    And then you subtract the pin:11-4=7 morale.

    Can anyone confirm if there is an order to calculate morale So we can play the right way.

    Please be civil and respectful

    Thank you!

    The maximum/minimum is applied after ALL modifiers, not between the positives and the negatives.  “Regardless of how many pin markers it has, or how many bonuses or penalties apply, a unit cannot have a morale value of more than 11, or less than 2.” (p71, Orders, Order Tests, last para before the ‘At Full Strength’ sub heading, and repeated p73, Maximum and Minimum Morale.
