Rules for the use of "z"

[Oche]

In another thread there was talk of restrictions on the use of "z". Said to be a gray area but I think you can get to agree on basic criteria. I never had problems with that until I played with Mr. Z :).
I think we can use two lines of approach.
a) use in attack
b) use in defense

a)
1) can shoot with "z" only with machine guns and artillery support.
2) The infantry can only fire suppression fire on targets that have been identified and covered with smoke. (z is a good countermeasure against the smoke)
This is an important point because it is difficult when a whole company enemy hits you with the z. It becomes a senseless shooting. It could put a maximum number of shots.

b)
1) equal to b 1
2) equal to b1. You can shoot with infantry when this is pinned by enemy artillery fire. Although the enemy is not covered in smoke but is covered by the field.


It's just a suggestion. Together we can make this clear dark.

Funny Comment Roman about Mr. Z
However i have met more Mr. Xs than Mr. Zs along the years of Steel Panthers battles, i guess that you get used to both seeing and using z and x that i cant picture a PBEM battle without the players using any of those both features

What i do know is that reconaissance by fire (Z) cannot be used in a indifferent manner because although it may reveal enemy units it also has a flip side and that is it wastes firing points that may be very useful against spotted enemy units despite the fact that it also may attract unexpected return fire.
