>>Your idea about units not being removed is known as retrun fire. I've used
it in other rules and although it has benefits it can get a little
complicated. For example what do you do to simulate surprise where units
would get annihilated without firng a shot. People get pretty argumentative
about this.
Having played a very complex set of WW2 rules where this comes in I actually
admire the simplicity of Epic.
Still there's always room for improvement.

Hope this is food for thought.
