Stone-throwing Mobs/Crowds etc

[Weeble]

I've just retried with Indirect/suppressive fire in hexes adjacent to the unarmed crowds (hand grenades), followed by advance into the crowd caused "Tank Panic" in 25% leaving only the 'hostile' stone throwers at point-blank. Ensuing melee predictably one-sided

I used Somali angry crowds and PLO civilians , UN civilians and civil engineers (all set as 'captured') in UK vs UK.

The data on stone-throwers gives range 1 and all the rest as zero. Ammo loads 6, 12 & 24 as HE.

Don't see why 'zero' damage/pen rocks still cause so many casualties though.

This exercise require strict "weapons-off" discipline. Stirling SMGs caused 'collateral damage' to unarmed civs in same hex as target. SLR & GPMG seemed sufficiently accurate!
