Default Morale Issues

Perhaps someone can help me out with a few issues I have noticed in the game.

1) Even after slaughtering all of an enemy's armoured units and the overwhelming majority of his infantry as well, the dregs of his force just keep on coming at me. Even squads that have been reduced to 1 or 2 men attempt to assault passing COLUMNS of heavy armour while their remaining RPG or ATM teams attempt to converge on any victory hexs in a seeming last ditch atempt to throw me out (even though I have local force ratios as high as 30 -35 to 1. What kind of fanatics are those troops anyhow...I mean once an enemy force is so completely routed (after a loss of 90% of its material assets) wouldn't the remaining infantry retreat and attempt to evade?

BTW. The troops of which I speak are Soviet and East German (1980's campaign)

2) My second question concerns opportunity fire. I will illustrate with an example which is typical.

I move a single tank from cover into a wide open field full of retreating (routed) infantry and fire on the nearest unit with my coax and AA MG. Then, almost every unit within range on the field stops, turns, and takes opportunity fire on me. I have been in situations where over 12 different infantry units have fired on me in succession (and repeatedly) every time I either move or attempt to shoot at them. I have had a singe tank take what must be over 50 separate fires from everyting to supposedly retreating infantry with AK47s and nades to half a dozen RPG or ATGM teams (that were supposed to be in retreat). Naturally eneough, the tank is either eventually killed or disabled -- statistically how can it survive in such a case.

My question therefore is this: is it normal to have every unit in range -- even those supposedly pinned or retreating -- drop everything they are doing to fire on each and every unit that moves into their line of sight? Wouldn't it be more natural for them to have a probability of taking opportunity fire commencerate with the degree of suppression they are under? The way the opportunity fire system works right now, game play is tedious affair -- particularly with the apparant uber moral the enemy seems to have.

Please tell me if I am doing something wrong. I really want to enjoy the game, but the above issues are making it a frustrating affair.

Thanks in advance,

Krotos
