Rules questions - "Low on Ammo" effects
1) What is/are the effects of being "Low on Ammo?";
2) Where, exactly, in the rules is/are the effect(s) of being "Low on Ammo" specified?
Thanks!

Units that are Digging-In or Low on Ammo have 1/2 fire value.

Look in the USER Doc under Firing | Basic Fire Resolution and then look under the "Additional Fire Modifiers"

Glenn In addition to the half fire value that Glenn mentions, low ammo units drop one in morale value from their current value, unless already at No Morale.

Low ammo units are also penalized when involved in an assault. If attacking, they launch their assault at 1/4 assault strength; if defending, they utilize 1/2 of their assault strength.

Hey Billie...I have scoured the manuals and can find nothing that mentions these assault penalties for "Low ammo" units. Where did you find this info? Sorry, I don't mean to question your answer, just would like to confirm the details for myself. :chin:
