Here's my two cents:
Everyone would hit... normally. But combat isn't normal. Troops will be
constantly looking over their shoulder to see what's going on. There'll be
explosions going off continuously - some nearer than the troopers would
like. And they're going to be firing from positions that aren't ideal - like
the bottom of a trench or curved around a piece of cover -spray and pray
anyone?
I'd say some sort of bonus is appropriate - but making it an automatic hit
is perhaps a bit optimistic. Maybe a +2 bonus or something like that? Or
would this add one to many "special" modifiers to the rules (I must admit,
I'm not intimately familiar with them:)
