Well, another good question. You could ask similarly about a squad that
has dropeed its CL to BROKEN. Obviously can't fire back at you unless
fired at, so can we ignore it? We actually had this situation last
night. Again, playing by the spirit of the rules we determined that our
squad would not be able to tell the difference between a steady CO squad
and a suppressed or BR squad. If the squad was enough of a threat to
attract your fire in the first place and it hasn't moved away from you
then you would be bound to continue engaging it until some other enemy
unit became a greater threat or if perhaps the Pl Leader gave specific
orders to direct fire elsewhere.
Reasonable?
