Thoughts
so far a mob of drunken cowards with a good leader telling them lies about good omens and promising cash and giving them a slap up feast could make them get a moral up enough to face sick starving soldiers who have not been paid and have a incompetent leaser

the soldiers would probably still win but morale might let the drunk mob win

i want to make a hybrid war game with simple unit tokens then some kind of narrative tables for heroes to help decide battle outcome from players view. Might not involve any actual of tokens or movement
