A unit in deep woods is tougher to rout, as are units that have protected flanks, have another unit behind them, are close to their brigade commanders, or are entrenched or in a defiladed area such as the Sunken Lane.
As a unit takes fire, its morale bar begins to turn red; when it is completely red, the unit breaks, fleeing its position in the battle line.

(There were only 8 of us, six with Lee Enfield.303" Rifles, and 2 in the Bren Gun team, who practiced the drills.)
