Re: Under Fire DS2

How about this: Roll a d6. Add Leader Rating (1,2,or 3)
	2-5 Each Element moves a random direction at 1/2 movement*. This
		will probably cause the unit to be disorganized.
	6-7 Unit moves random direction 1/2 movement*.
	8+  No effect
	* Movement will not be made into Prohibited terrain.

For random direction roll d6 and move:
		1
