Make it have a choice of Normal BS at Initiative10 with no close combat attacks allowed that turn for the shooter or using BS 1 before the assault move like now but limit the close combat attacks back to Initiative 1.

Do not allow overwatch if the unit is pinned, or has gone to ground.

Alternatively:

Make overwatch simply make it a difficult/dangerous terrain move to get into combat, maybe have a modifier to the Dangerous Terrain roll by the amount of shots fired/weapon type fired at the assaulting unit.

example rapid fire and pistol weapons make the roll a -1 to the roll per every 10 shots fired. A template weapon is -1 to the roll for the first and every 3 after, and assault weapons(that are not also template) make it -1 per 5 shots fired. These are just example numbers, after looking at them it might be a bit ruff and adjustments will need to be made to make it balanced/work right. A natural 6 will always pass the Dangerous Terrain Test.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839118.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839151.page GMT
I actually believe that Assault armies problems stem from the transport rules, and the random charge range, rather than the assault rules themselves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6839218.page GMT BS. I also hope you have to take an initiative test to do overwatch.

I could also see not being able to fire heavy weapons, unless you're relentless.

I could agree with a pinned unit not being able to fire, however I see a unit that has gone to ground still in a firing posture. I know they're the same things in the rules, but separating them may not be a bad idea.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6846975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/595525/6846975.page GMT
