"I,too, disliked the shaked/baked rule..I see where the new beta rules allow the shaken unit OF..If I'm reading the rules right,by rolling a 6"
I believe you must be GO to qualify for ROF?
Regarding the 'shaked/baked rule' in general:
- Let's not forget: Para's {or fill in your elite troop here} surrender too...
- Super Stacks of 3 Crack Infantry that get shaken: sounds like the problem is not the shaken rules but rather bad leadership massing your crack infantry super stack in a vulnerable location...
- Being taken prisoner by a vehicle crew: The shaken studs don't know it's a vehicle crew. They know they have been wounded, blasted, etc. and are confronted with bad guys with guns. Members of the SAS Bravo Two Zero team in Gulf War I were captured by armed civilians and police. I'd say that's vehicle crew equivalent.
There are some occasions where the shaked/baked rule seems severe, but generally I think bolting on more rules would only be harmful to the system.
