Virtue Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi, New here, new to 8th ed, not new to the game (3rd ed vet here) but haven't played since then, so my recollection on the rules is hazy. Ok, so you take morale tests at the end of your turn correct? so if a squad lost half its models by my opponent firing on them, does that mean i can move, shoot, charge and fight before i take a test on them? This seems odd, i could technically wipe out my assailants but then run away to die! Or, do you take it after you've been shot during your opponents turn, effectively taking a test out of turn? nowhere in the rules does it clarify this! I feel like an idiot for not being able to work this out!Help Please!

CaptainMarsh Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A Battle Round is made up of two Player Turns. *Both* players take morale tests at the end of *each player turn* if they have sustained losses, with the losses taken during *that player turn* being counted. As an example:Your opponent goes first. He moves, shoots, and then charges and fights. A tactical squad of yours lost six members during this turn. He lost three members in his tactical squad. At the end of his turn, you both take your morale test. Any results of those tests apply now.During your turn, you do your moves, shooting, and fighting. Losses incurred during your turn are what counts towards the new morale tests. Tests are taken, and the results applied. Rinse and repeat.

Panzer Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 What CaptainMarsh says. You take a morale check when your opponent is done doing his stuff and you take another morale check when you are done doing your stuff. One morale check every turn, two every battleround. (of course only if you lost models) Also be aware that any kind of casualties count. If you lose models because of your own rules, like because of supercharging plasma and then rolling a 1 or because of perils when trying to cast a psychic power or because a vehicle of yours explodes and damages your own units, those casualties still count towards the morale checks you have to take at the end of the turn.
