An IA House Rule - rerathbun - 01-26-2021

I'll put this in the general folder, since we don't (yet) have sub-folders for Infantry Attacks and Panzer Grenadier Modern.

I'd like to introduce a House Rule for comment.  The following is based on the demoralized cavalry rules under IA rule 14.7 (Cavalry Restrictions):
Quote:•    Demoralized machine gun units cannot unlimber, and unlimbered machine gun units which become demoralized must immediately limber if they are forced to flee (13.31). Flip the piece to the limbered side, move the gun its maximum movement allowance (or to the nearest safe hex), and place a Moved/Fired marker on it.
•    Demoralized machine gun units which are limbered must remain limbered and cannot unlimber again until they are no longer demoralized.

Note that it is slightly different from the cavalry rules.  Machine guns do not limber as soon as they become demoralized; they only limber if forced to flee.  If forced to flee they immediately limber and then move per the normal fleeing rules (during the same activation after a failed recovery attempt).
