Agreed. That was my preferred method. However this requires a house
rule, as
it's not stated specifically in the rule book. 

What would be a fair modifier? Would +1 be good enough?

Let's assume we want the probability of passing a single test to be
about the
same as passing 2 tests. For a Regular 2 unit, the chance of passing
both
tests is 56.25% (75% chance of passing the charge into close assault
test, 75%
chance of passing the remove IP test). A +1 for the single test (close
assault
while in IP) makes it a 62.5% chance of passing, while a +2 makes it a
50%
chance. 

For Veteran 2s, the chance of passing both tests is 64%. A +1 modifier
would
make a single test passable at 70%. A +2 modifier would make the chance
of
passing 60%. 

For Green 2s, the chance of passing both tests is 44.44%. A +1 modifier
would
make a single test passable at 50%. A +2 lowers the probability of
passing to
33.33%.

I think +1 is sufficient.
