I like this idea, actually. It gives the quality of a unit more "to do."
It
seems to fit in with what I've read of historical battles, too. If an
infantry unit is advancing, firing at them usually makes them hit the
dirt.
However, an advancing armour column is a very difficult thing to stop.
Yeah,
I like this idea. I particularly like the idea of artillery fire on a
combined unit stopping the infantry from moving while the armour presses
on
unsupported. We might find that these rules make armour MORE vulnerable
(in
a combined arms battle) than having them behave like infantry...
