Pinning

(Rule)
Description:

When the firing of a single enemy unit inflicts casualties with pinning weapons, the target must take a Leadership test to avoid being pinned down. If the unit fails the test it may not move, shoot, assault, or make any other actions in its following turn. A unit may be called upon to make multiple Pinning tests in a single turn. A pinned unit does not have to take a Morale test if it sustains 25% casualties from enemy fire, as the face that it is pinned overrides the Morale test. If assaulted by the enemy, the pinning effect is immediately canceled and the unit will fight normally.
