I Z-Fire with no regrets. I find it very well replicates real life 'covering fire' and it's misuse suffers the same drawbacks as real life.

That's exactly what I do as well. The other thing I do that does not affect gameplay, but it affects the final outcome is the following; At the final casualty screen I multiply my casualties by 0.8 and the AI's casualties by 0.8*(random number between 0.4 and 0.6). The AI is never savvy with its units and it often does stupid counterattacks straight at the strongest part of my forces. I reason for my decision by assuming that the AI is much more clever and that my forces exaggerate their kill claims and severity of enemy resistance due to the fog of war.
I also saw that this formula produces much more realistic casualty results.
