Do
patrols that are 'Fearless' or 'Leadershipless' have to make the 50%
bottle roll?
In a word... Yes! All patrols make the
test!
The 50% bottle roll is a
mechanism to bring the game to a close, when you get to this point the
odds are you will have already taken a pasting so get out.
Troops
that are Fearless, Space Wolves for example, are not stupid. A patrol
has very specific orders which would not usually include engage the
enemy at all costs. The very nature of a marine's training would mean
that they would have masses of battlefield experience and would know
when to withdraw. A chapter has less than a thousand active troops and
would not wish to lose men unnecessarily.
A
force being led by a Tau Ethereal has to make the test! (Not that any
self respecting Ethereal would be leading a patrol, that is way too
gamey for me!)
A Leadershipless
patrol, Ork Speed Freeks all on buggies and Traks, have to take the test
also. If the troop types have no Ld characteristic you should use the
standard Ld for that race, in this case an Ork's Ld is 7.
