The idea below I think works so I would be interested in your thoughts (rewording may be necessary):
Fortified Defence
When, with at least 50% of the formation defending from cover at the start of an assault, Imperial Fists count a 'drawn' combat result as a win. The opponent is broken with no extra casualties and follows the rules for [insert reference here].
In effect, there is no 2nd round of combat with Imperial Fists who are defending from cover - there is always a winner and a loser.
This rule would also open up the possibility (supplement wise) for Iron Warriors to have a Siege Specialists rule which would be that they always win drawn combats when assaulting cover - hence the two would cancel each other out. The only time a drawn combat in cover would continue with Imperial Fists is if the Iron Warriors were doing the attacking.
Thoughts?
I like the rule FB. Well thought out and bends but doesn't break the rules. Definitely brings character to the list.
