Accused it right. Too few games have emotions -Or similiar- in them. If Morale is up though, you should have a fire bonus and they move quicker. Down would do the opposite, if that isn't already in the game and I haven't noticed...
Allies have a purpose: Get the ally explosion thing (Can't remember name) and wait for them to be near enemies. Or use the split *just* before being eaten and hope the copy gets away...
Why do my men surrender when I have just gased the enemies front line to death? I should've gotten a morale boost. Granted my men were heading right into the gas cloud, there still were others behind them by a long shot...
