The Combined Arms Penalty

[Ricky B]

I admit to misunderstanding the import of the rule at first contact and having to read it a couple of times before I grasped that it wasn't what it sounded like. The problem lies in the grammar: it's logical to suppose that something called "combined arms penalty" is penalizing combined arms.

Very true. That thought crossed my mind, in terms of the original post. I guess the problem is what do you call it? Unsupported Armour Penalty? Any ideas?

Armour is just too British, I must say  . Just kidding, but couldn't resist (right Fowl?).

It isn't much better but maybe Combined Arms Adjustment? Not sure it is clear, but something is percolating in my head around it. Analysis came to mind first but that really doesn't apply.
