"To fire or not to fire, that is the question?"

[Krak]

I agree with Sgt Barker. Definately depends on the situation. Although the thought it may be gamey never entered my head...

Further to this, it seems that sometimes if you have fired at a unit 2 times and still have not received any defensive fire from it, foregoing that last shot of yours is sometimes a wise move, unless seeking a disrupt. Because quite often that last shot then results in a hail of gunfire from the defending unit.

This is another reason why I advocate an optional rule for maximum defensive fire by defending units at phase end. To often defending units with plenty of ammo do nothing.
