Confident Units: Make Morale Check if
Suppression attempt has a modified Firepower of
3+ – Failure indicates unit is Suppressed


Sorry for all the questions ...but is that suppression fire that includes a weapon with 3+ FP

or can 5 dudes with AKs (lose two dice for firing Suppression) qualify for instance???

thx

Z.

If the total dice in the firepower roll after all modifiers is 3+ then a confident unit will need to pass a motivation test to not be suppressed.

For example:
5 Taliban with AK47s use suppression fire on a confident unit. You get 1 firepower dice per guy with an AK47, so you will have 5 basic firepower dice. Since they want to use suppression fire they throw 2 less firepower dice. Therefore they will throw 3 dice (5-2=3). If the Taliban unit manages to roll a single 4+ with their 3 dice, the confident unit must pass a motivation check or be suppressed.

Hope that makes sense.

Thx thought it was so but the intimidating weapons stuff confused me.

All infantry units must take a morale check when fired upon by intimidating weapons . IE a flame thrower a main tank gun , a heavy machine gun etc ...

Weapons teams or units equiped with LMGs (Not SAWs)GPMGs,MMGs,HMGs,or AGLs do not suffer the -2 fire power penalty and are ALWAYS considered to be using supression Fire.....page 41

Zels, the easiest way for me to remember intimidating is just to think "if it's .50 cal plus it's intimidating". We also house rule that the Mark 19 and similar AGLs are also intimidating but that's just us.

On suppression, we house rule (as I think i mentioned to you) that only weapons teams can conduct suppressive fires. Makes things a little simpler and helps to guide the player to use the crew served weapons systems as nature intended.
