Of course, this can be defeated by hiding squad qualities (put them 
on a sheet, or keep the counters flipped down and use some other 
method to illustrate that they have moved). They the only ways you'd 
know are 
1. Your intel todl you	(before the game or maybe as an EW spotting 
type action)
2. determinism (boy those guys can't hit squat, I think they might be 
green) when they fire - but by then you've made some of these 
decisions
