My buddy and I are new to the game. We played our first game recently and it appears that we got most of the rules right the first time. We did spend a lot of that first game with our nose in the books verifying as we went to prevent doing it wrong and having to unlearn the wrong stuff.

That being said, the one thing that I found that we may have done wrong was with the elite infantry. I read in the rules on a post game re-read that the elite infantry get a +1 defense rating versus suppression fire. We added the plus one, but it was for the whole squad. On my second reading it appears that rules confer a +1 for each figure in the squad. So a single base with four elite in it: Should it get a +1 or +4 vs. suppression fire?

Thanks for the help.

+1 for each elite.

4 elties = +4 extra cover dice vs. Supressive fire.

Thanks much for the responses. I kind of figured that was the case and we had just missed this distinction on our first game. No matter, I still think I would have received the severe beat down, but it may have been slightly less miserable.
