I like this idea.
Note that it makes troops in dugouts, bunkers and caves very difficult
to kill if they start a close assault with good morale. This isn't
without historical precedent. US Marines were rather hesitant to
charge into the caves on Okinawa in order to flush out dug in Japanese
troops. I'd use Tom's suggestion to keep things simple.
