Suppression fire

[scarf005]

reduce TU and morale of unit for narrowly missed spray of bullets. This makes machineguns a viable way to "block off" an area.

I'm not a maintainer or anything but I think this is a neat idea. I play a lot of Jagged Alliance 2 1.13, which has suppression mechanics that work by some formula that's affected by the amount of bullets whizzing by. The more there is, the more aggressive the point loss. Even pistol fire drops points just a tad, but machine gun fire can put you outright into the negatives, where you'd need to wait to have a round with full points.

I think suppression fire would ideally affect the target's TU regeneration for their next turn, so you can make targets hunker down in cover using suppression fire, similar to how suppression works out in XCOM 2012 and XCOM 2.

The idea is easy on surface but implementation rises a thousand of questions...
