IMO this would be reasonable since troops charging are making a desperate
attempt to get up close and personal with the enemy, and if the enemy is
prepared to fire at them a carnage follows. This is especially true when
dealing with troops in fortifications. Those inside are just waiting for the
enemy to get in range and have most likely cleared fields of fire and
practiced concentrating their attacks.

Subject: [NetEpic ML] Defensive first fire
Hi!
One thing I don't klike about units on first fire shooting at units that
engage it is that there is no real danger for the assaulting force. The
shots are taken normally just like any other shot. The risk is about the
same which usually means not much. If you add that the attackers get cover
modifiers of the terrain defensive fire is pretty lousy.
In Heresy I resolved this with a higher probablility of hitting. This makes
assaulting a defended prepared position dangerous, unlike now.
We don't need any elaborate rules for this though, I wonder if a simple +1
to hit would make it worthwhile.
Opinions?
Peter
