| Result: | Die Roll | Morale |
| equal or less | passed | |
| over by 1 or 2 | shaken | |
| over by 3, 4 or 5 | driven back | |
| over by 6 or more | routed |
Passed - If you roll the units morale level or lower (with modifiers), on a d6, you have passed the morale test. If the unit is not already 'steady' it becomes 'steady'. If you're attempting to rally from rout, the unit ceases rout and becomes 'steady'. It turns around and faces the way it came. It is still disordered.
Shaken - If you fail the test by going over its morale level (with modifiers), by 1 or 2, the unit becomes shaken. If it is already shaken, there is no additional penalty. If you're attempting to rally from rout, the unit ceases rout but remains shaken. It turns around and faces the way it came. It is still disordered.
Driven Back - If you fail the test by going over its morale level (with modifiers) by 3, 4 or 5, the unit becomes shaken and is driven back 4 inches. If it is already shaken there is no additional penalty other than the movement. If you're attempting to rally from rout, you retreat 4 more inches, then turn about and rally. The unit remains shaken and disordered.
Routed - if you fail the test by 6 or more (with modifiers) the unit's nerve has cracked and it must flee the number of inches equal to their rout/evade dice roll (see movement distances). The unit becomes shaken and disordered. If attempting to rally from rout, you have failed and must make another rout move.
