A few thoughts,
o My first thought is that supression shouldn't necessarily have to kill
  anything. Under this scheme it does.

o My second thought is: should we allow someone to trade kills for
  more supression (at a rate of 1 real kill for 3 virtual kills in
  order to determine supressive effects). This would solve the
  above concern about supression not nesessarily resulting from/needing
  casualties.

In example,
My 10 stand detachment of IG's fire on a size 3 tank detachment of Leman
Russ's. I get one kill. One kill is not enough to supress the remaining
2 Leman Russ's. I decide to trade that kill in for a 3 virtual kills
against all the Leman Russ's, which is now enough to force them to make
a supression check.

The Leman's pass the check, and return fire. Getting 4 kills on the
IG detachment. My opponent decides to trade in 3 of the kills for 9
virtual kills and let one kill stand. It's now 9 kills versus a
(currently) 9 stand detachment and the IG have to make a supression check.

I'd also make supression last until your NEXT activation (through the
End Phase), whereupon it's automatically cleared. (Put a token next
to units/detachments that are supressed and remove it as your next
activation). This means once you get supressed you will get some
penalty to it.

Unanswered concerns,
o Should vehicles and infantry be treated different? Supressed vehicles
tend to become less decisive while supressed, while infantry tend to go to
ground. (Vehicles can move 1/2 rate while suppressed? (Maybe still
fire?)).

o Elites? Do they get a bonus toward supression (or is this already a
factor of their morale)?

Just some random thoughts,
DarylL
