Re: Random Suppression
They can be out of contact of their superior HQ, especially if they do not have radios. Links to a higher HQ are as valid as in-platoon comms. If out of command and control, suppression may occur.
Also - are they sitting in fire hexes (e.g. burning trees, buildings)?. Fire causes suppression, and can case damage (though not as lethal as in the original game, where elements would "melt" if left in a flamed hex).
Has a friendly unit been killed within 250-300m, especially a tank brewing up?. Friendly losses cause suppression.
Did artillery fire nearby? - shells have a blast radius, so can effect several hexes away from the bang. In addition, an air strike or MRL strike has a wider morale effect than ordinary HE bombardment.
Are no friends nearby (250-300m)?. Units can get lonely if left isolated, especially those with low exp or morale.
