What happens if the detachment doesn't get assaulted,
though? An easier solution would be to just give anyone on OW
orders a bonus to the CC roll (and perhaps the total FP of the
detachment would determine just how much of a bonus).
In any case, I think that you're just trying to compensate
for a symptom of the real problem, which is that assault troops
move too damn fast. To solve that, you could modify the transport
rules in a few ways. For instance, you could apply the 5cm
penalty before any charging bonuses. Or, use the SM rule where
if the transport uses, say, 60% of it's movement, the troops
inside can only use 40% of theirs.

Makes sense. Then again, the troops in the building
or whatever are going to get stuck in a FF with the vehicles
surrounding them... What happens when broken troops get
broken again?
