        --------> It probably does. It could also just represent fire
suppression effects. Either way the game effect is the same. My
suggestion above would probably have to be instead of BM's, to make any
sense. BM's represent many of the same things but in a more abstract
way. Some players may want to have specific disabled/immobilized tanks
rather than a group of Leman Russes with some BM's on them.
