Hi, I have just copied this paragraph fro the Bolt Action articles list on officers in the 2nd edition rule book.
“These order dice act just as if they were drawn out of the bag and are resolved in any order but each order dice must be finished before another dice can be activated. Each of these “extra” dice act like normal, i.e. they must pass an orders check so if there are pin markers on the unit roll the dice, apply the pins and most likely the officers morale bonus and proceed from there, you know how it works. I know your mind is blown.” Hope this helps.

Officer bonus does apply to both Order checks and Morale checks. We have been playing three plus years and still find something we have been doing wrong or not doing at all. It is the way the rules are laid out and there is no index.

Order checks are not Morale checks. My understanding is modifiers apply to both. This is supported in the narrative on various pages in the rules. We apply the modifiers as per your first example e.g. 8 for the regulars. Rationale, apply all modifiers, if the result is over 10 it is reduced to 10.

Hopefully a simple question
Do officers add their morale bonus when activating orders? I believe they do but I have been challenged on this, saying it only applies to morale tests. The rule book appears a little contradictory.

Thanks
