If a unit with a Commissar fails a Morale check for any reason, the Commissar will summarily execute the Officer or Sergeant leading the squad. Remove the executed model as a casualty. The unit then is assumed to have passed the Morale test and continues to fight under the leadership of the Commissar. The presence of a Commissar in a unit adds +1 Leadership to the Officer or Sergeant commanding the unit.
