Sustained Fire Bonus, Suppressive Fire, MG Spray, Low Ammo

Sustained Fire Bonus
Sustained fire bonus requires the use of a marker placed on a target recording what the missed die roll symbol was: upon the next missing die roll if the same symbol is rolled it is treated as a hit instead.

Suppressive Fire (infantry) and Firing with Low Ammo
Suppressive Fire is the expenditure of ammo, as long as a target is in range of the firing weapons it is allowed to occur, to attempt to influence an enemy's firing ability.  One stand in a platoon conducting SF automatically applies one Incremental Hit (use the TE indicator) to one of the target hexes (there may be things other than other infantry in the target hex). Each SF instance of any number of squads firing in the platoon causes a marker to be placed on the platoon denoting the expenditure, one level for each SF it conducts.  On the third SF it is thereafter on Low Ammo until resupplied, meaning the firing items can only fire on a roll of Color first.  For each Red hit a SF squad has however, it must progress from rolling Color to Code for any second-level red hits, to then be able to get the IH application on the target.

Spraying MG Fire
Each MG sprays fire into a zone of hexes from a central named hex and is a form of Suppressive fire (marking the ammo expenditure as above for each firing MG), but the IH hits are placed into the neighboring hexes left and right of the named central hex: All MGs cause all hexes to receive an IH with the central hex suffering a red hit, while HMGs cause the other hexes to have level 2 IH hits each firing.
