Here's a suggestion:
A hidden unit (either actually hidden with a ref or just a dummy) must
make
a reaction test when subjected to successful RBF.
RBF is executed as follows:
Firing unit declares intention to fire at target (clump of trees, rocks,
whatever). Rolls normal firing dice.
A dice is rolled for the "Potential Defender" - range dice, shifted up
two
levels for cover.
If the fire succeeds in scoring suppresion or casualties, then a
reaction
test must be made by the "Potential Defender" (could be a dummy counter
or
the ref could roll for a hidden unit even if one DNE to maintain the
illusion).
RBF Reaction Test: suppression result - +1/0/NTR (by
mission
motivation)
effective fire - +2/0/NTR
Highly motivated troops won't be (IMO) subject to such "scare tactics".
If the test is failed, the unit does something which reveals it - place
unit
on board.
Note: RBF gives up the chance to cause casualties and it IS a firing
action.
