    Morale and discipline checks can impact units in battle. A unit makes a morale check if it loses over 25% or 50% of its starting figures or encounters certain situational factors like being flanked. On a failed check, units may change formation or rout from the field. Discipline checks prevent chaotic actions, and failures can cause uncontrolled charges. Melee is resolved by subtracting armor class from attack ratings, adding dice rolls, referring to tables to determine damage by hit dice inflicted, and removing that number of figures from the target unit.
