**General**.
Valor is a reflection of an infantry unit undergoing battle hardening or heroism during combat. Valor applies to infantry units only.

**Checking for Valor.**
Whenever an infantry unit makes an AP or AT (to-hit) attack dice roll that yields a natural, unmodified result of two (2), the attacking unit checks for Valor. If the attack that initiated the check was an AP attack conducted by a fire group, all units in the fire group check for Valor. A squad or half squad becomes valorous on a dice roll equal to or less than its Casualty Rating, and a leader becomes valorous on a dice roll of 6 or less. A Valor marker is placed on a valorous unit.

**Valor Effects.**
A valorous unit can ignore the first Casualty Point inflicted against it. A valorous unit adds +1 to its inherent APFP when making an AP combat attack, and doubles
its inherent APFP rating when conducting, or defending against, a close assault. The APFP ratings of support weapons fired by valorous units are not increased; only the inherent firepower of the unit is increased. A valorous unit subtracts 1 from any ATFP attack dice roll.

**Unit Consistency.**
Valorous squads may not be split into two half squads, nor may valorous half squads be combined with another half squad to form a full squad. A valorous squad reduced to a half squad (by combat) retains its valorous status.
