On the contrary, I understand and agree with having unpredictable results. My problem is with extreme results not commensurate with the effort expended. One shot shouldn't take a unit out of action for the remainder of the scenario. Maybe if the unit was green, but this was a unit with experience in the 70's. In the other case you had two platoons open up on a unit with everything they had and it got no suppression. Heck, even if they were all firing into the air, the racket alone would have made the unit duck.

Bear in mind that outlier results don't determine a trend.

Yeah, sometimes a unit can be paralyzed from one or two casualties but it happens quite rarely.
Yeah, sometimes a unit can seem to ignore volleys of machine gun fire. It also happens quite rarely.


By and large, low experience/morale units will bail a lot, while high experience/morale troops will be very resilient. Do a 1941/42 game of americans vs japanese to view the difference, or 41 soviet vs german.
