Blast damage should increase for a person (or object) in the water, but the blast damage of an explosion in the water to a person standing on deck should be reduced. I think that's the confusion here.

They already do help each other, by the group morale roll, so I don't see a need to add a house rule to help on a CUF roll? It makes sense that all characters in the same hex are affected by suppression. That's the intent of the rules. There shouldn't ordinarily be more than two characters in the sa...

In the traditional 5th ID getting overrun, players mil and civ can end up finding cover/hiding in the same location as a starting point.

This is where the idea of simultaneous or sequential actions as a game mechanic paradigm comes in. I think this is key. We have this tendency to view combat as sequential, because that's how the rules work, when it should be seen as things happening simultaneously. Initiative really only comes into...

Called shots against internal components of a vehicle don't seem to be allowed for, but if a player wanted to target the engine block of a truck, I would allow ...

A more stealthy individual could offer helpful advice like, "Slow down. Look where you step. Avoid those dried twigs. Don't silhouette yourself on that crestline. Stay in the shadows." etc. That's how I justified applying Help in that scenario. I don't think it's practical to give advice ...

Thanks for sharing!
