Calculating morale bonus and pin

[Rpc]

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.
