Recce by Fire

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.
