Biblical Update - Generals

COMMANDERS, who were often also kings, played vital roles in ancient armies, and I want them represented in some way on the tabletop.

But since Neil Thomas's biblical forces in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming always consist of eight units, it would be disproportionate, in my opinion, to have an individual figure representing the general.

Instead I rule that in each army an elite unit is designated as the general's (if an army has no elite units, another unit becomes the general's, and the unit is upgraded to elite).

Such a unit receives a +1 modifier when testing morale.

But if the unit is destroyed, the general goes with it, and every friendly unit in line-of-sight must immediately test its morale, and all other friendly units have to test their morale at the start of the army's next turn.
