Reaction fire markers are not removed if the unit participates in overrun combat.
This, to me, would be a simple way to address the problem mentioned in the beginning of this thread.
Scenarios would have to be tweaked to take this rule into consideration. An increase in the attacking force of 20%, perhaps?

I don’t see any reason to limit hold fire to units that didn’t move, so I’ll stick with my proposed rule. The problems I discussed weren’t necessarily limited to stationary units.
As I noted earlier, stabilized gun systems 70 years from now will likely make firing on the move no different than firing while stationary.
