Default Re: WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2 vs SP World At War

Came a little late to the party, but nobody mentioned my pet peeve about SPWAW: Units that retreat or rout usually (always?) return to pin status when fired upon, unless they take casualties. Then they fire back.

Never made any sense to me. First of all it's illogical. Units retreat or rout in the first place because of suppression. Why should any further increase in suppression cause them to suddenly LOSE suppression and become pinned again?

Second, it's psychologically implausible. Soldiers quitting the fight are highly unlikely to change their minds if additional fire is directed their way. Rather, that would be an added incentive to get the heck out of there. So SPWW2 and MBT definitely get this right (along with a whole bunch of other stuff).
