    Hi,

    I have a question about the break tests, about which players in my club have divergent views.

    Does a unit have to pass a break test instantly at the moment it becomes Shaken (at the moment its losses reaches its Stamina), OR does it have to wait until further losses, making it’s total losses exceed its Stamina after having been shaken, to take a first break test?

    We didn’t find a clear answer in the V2, so thanks in advance if you have response.

    No, if you look at the reasons for taking break tests simply being shaken is excluded. Instead you are obliged to take a break test when you get excess casualties, i.e. those casualties that exceed your stamina level at any point in time. Normally you would do this after the unit has received all the fire it will get during the turn.
