I ran out of HE trying to kill them off and theyre still taking pot shots at my guys who are in cover, while they're supposedly pinned or retreating, and have several tonnes of lead falling on them.

This is something I find hard to figure. I know is a matter of morale but I´ve learned that even when pinned or retreating, enemy infantry can still take shots at you, sometimes they even have an amazing high hit chance for their status, so my conclusion is that status report could be misleading, a lot of times I´ve seen a pinned/retreating squad inflicting casualties among my advancing troops.

Pinned guys fire back (usually). Retreating/routed guys don't.

You´re right regarding routed squads. Unfurtunately I don´t have a saved game to prove my allegations but I could swear it happened last night for example when playing scenario No. 11, specifically with the british rifle squad inside the house at 31,18, those retreating MFs fired back at one of my squads closing into an adjacent hex. I´ll try to reproduce it.

But still, what "pinned" is suposed to mean then if they´re going to fire back almost normally? lower accuracy?

From my observations, yes, lower accuracy. And less shot opportunities, esp. for secondary weapons once the unit took damage.

They´re still a threat at close distance though, I can tell you that from my observations.

Of course, that' why they do bother firing But they are less likely to inflict serious casaulties when compared to ready troops.
