Pinning and Morale

[Mr. Man098]

When taking wounds from a pinning weapon, must you also take a morale check? If so, which do you take first? What happens if you fail the first? Would you still take the other? I'm so confused...

You take Pinning tests 'immediately' as soon as an unsaved wound was taken.
Morale tests are taked at the end of the phase.
You can take both in the same phase, so you could be pinned an later fail your morale test and fall back.
If you are falling back you cannot go to ground and auto pass all pinning tests.

You take the pinning test immediately.

Then at the end of the phase you take a morale test. If you fail, you run and are no longer pinned. If you pass, you stay pinned.

Which is why I tend to roll for Moral (falling back) first, purely a speeding up game play thing.
